TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of WFPC 2 images of the main ovals of Jupiter's aurora with the UVS spectra and in situ particles, fields, and plasma wave measurements is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auroral emissions of the giant planets
TL;DR: A review of the development of our current understanding of auroral emissions from Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, as revealed through multispectral observations and supplemented by plasma measurements can be found in this paper.

Detailed study of FUV Jovian auroral features with the post-COSTAR HST faint object camera
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of Hubble Space Telescope faint object camera images taken in the H 2 bands near 1550 A is used to infer the morphological properties of the steady state Jovian FUV aurorae.

TL;DR: The observed resonance scattering of solar hydrogen Lyman α by the atmosphere of Jupiter and the solar occultation experiment suggest a hot thermosphere (≥ 1000 K) wvith a large atomic hydrogen abundance.

Modeling the Jovian current sheet and inner magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this article, a model of the azimuthal current sheet by a finite thickness annulus of inner radius 5 Jovian radii, 5-Jovians thickness, and extending to about 50 Jovians radii provides detailed fits of the vector magnetic field perturbations observed in relation to the planetary field.

Electron precipitation and related aeronomy of the Jovian thermosphere and ionosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive theoretical model of both the auroral and nonauroral atmosphere and ionosphere of Jupiter is presented and used to study particle precipitation effects in the Jovian upper atmosphere, both at middle and high latitudes.

TL;DR: The observations of a number of objects by the Voyager EUV instruments are summarized in this article, and the summary is considered to demonstrate the wide ranging application of the EUV spectroscopy and emphasizes the continuing importance of the search and discovery nature of spectroscopic techniques.
