Variation of different components of Jupiter’s auroral emission
[1] The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data set obtained over two campaigns in 2007 is used to determine the long-term variability of the different components of Jupiter’s auroras. Three regions on the planet’s disc are defined: the main oval, the low-latitude auroras, and the high-latitude auroras. The UVauroral power emitted from these regions is extracted and compared to estimated solar wind c...
متن کاملSaturn's dayside ultraviolet auroras: Evidence for morphological dependence on the direction of the upstream interplanetary magnetic field
We examine a unique data set from seven Hubble Space Telescope (HST) "visits" that imaged Saturn's northern dayside ultraviolet emissions exhibiting usual circumpolar "auroral oval" morphologies, during which Cassini measured the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) upstream of Saturn's bow shock over intervals of several hours. The auroras generally consist of a dawn arc extending toward noon c...
متن کاملOpen flux estimates in Saturn’s magnetosphere during the January 2004 Cassini-HST campaign, and implications for reconnection rates
[1] During 8–30 January 2004, a sequence of 68 UV images of Saturn’s southern aurora was obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), coordinated for the first time with measurements of the upstream interplanetary conditions made by the Cassini spacecraft. Using the poleward edge of the observed aurora as a proxy for the open-closed field line boundary, the open flux content of the southern po...
متن کاملThe VOISE Algorithm: a Versatile Tool for Automatic Segmentation of Astronomical Images
The auroras on Jupiter and Saturn can be studied with a high sensitivity and resolution by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ultraviolet (UV) and far-ultraviolet (FUV) Space Telescope imaging spectrograph (STIS) and Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) instruments. We present results of automatic detection and segmentation of Jupiter’s auroral emissions as observed by HST ACS instrument with VOrono...
متن کاملMagnetic interconnection of Saturn’s polar regions: comparison of modelling results with Hubble Space Telescope UV auroral images
We consider the magnetic interconnection of Saturn’s northern and southern polar regions controlled by the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), studying in particular the more complex and interesting case of southward IMF, when the Kronian magnetospheric magnetic field structure is the most twisted. The simpler case of northward IMF is also discussed. Knowledge of the magnetospheric magnetic fi...
