Decametric Radiation from Jupiter

Radio Emission from Jupiter

Three reviews of radio emission from Jupiter have appeared recently (1, 2, 3) and at least one more is currently in press. The present review primarily covers work since 1961. It would be not too strong to suggest that explanations of Jupiter's emission now are in the second generation, with most observational phenomena fairly well established. The salient observed features are not widely known...

Voyager Spacecraft Radio Observations of Jupiter: Initial Cruise Results

Planetary radio astronomy observations from voyager 2 near jupiter.

The Voyager 2 Planetary Radio Astronomy experiment to Jupiter has confirmed and extended to higher zenomagnetic latitudes results from the identical experiment carried by Voyager 1. The kilometric emissions discovered by Voyager 1 often extended to 1 megahertz or higher on Voyager 2 and often consisted of negatively or, less frequently, positively drifting narrowband bursts. On the basis of ten...

Explanation of dominant oblique radio emission at Jupiter and comparison to the terrestrial case

The Io-Jupiter S-bursts are series of quasi-periodic impulsive decameter radio emissions from the magnetic flux tube connecting Jupiter to its closest galilean satellite Io. This paper discusses the possibility, suggested by previous works by Hess et al, that the S-bursts are triggered by upgoing electrons accelerated (downward) by trapped Alfvén waves, that have mirrored above the Jupiter iono...
