| Summary: | Juno and HST form a powerful and unique combination to unravel the processes coupling the Jovian magnetosphere to its atmosphere through its auroras. As an example comma context images of the UV auroras offered by HST help making sense out of the Juno in situ measurements and disentangle spatial from temporal effects. As Juno.s orbit evolves comma new challenges and opportunities emerge during cycle 28. In particular comma Juno will fly at lower and lower altitudes over the north pole comma potentially accessing the deepest part of the region where the charged particle causing the aurora get accelerated. Unfortunately comma Juno.s remote sensing instruments will be too close to Jupiter and Juno will fly to fast in the North to offer global images of the auroras associated with the in situ wave comma field and particle measurements. Only HST is able to provide the spatially resolved UV images critical to properly interpret the data. Furthermore comma Juno will cross the magnetic equator closer and closer to ... |
