Temporal and Spectral Studies by XMM-Newton of Jupiter's X-ray Auroras During a Compression Event
Coates, A. J.; Jackman, C. M.; Branduardi-Raymont, G. +16 more
We report the temporal and spectral results of the first XMM-Newton observation of Jupiter's X-ray auroras during a clear magnetospheric compression event on June 2017 as confirmed by data from the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment (JADE) instrument onboard Juno. The northern and southern auroras were visible twice and thrice respectively as…
Jovian Auroral Ion Precipitation: X-Ray Production From Oxygen and Sulfur Precipitation
Cravens, T. E.; Mauk, B. H.; Dunn, W. R. +6 more
Many attempts have been made to model X-ray emission from both bremsstrahlung and ion precipitation into Jupiter's polar caps. Electron bremsstrahlung modeling has fallen short of producing the total overall power output observed by Earth-orbit-based X-ray observatories. Heavy ion precipitation was able to reproduce strong X-ray fluxes, but the pr…
