The Jupiter InfraRed Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) aboard Juno observed the Jovian South Pole aurora during the first orbit of the mission. H 3+ (trihydrogen cation) and CH 4 (methane) emissions have been identified and measured. The observations have been carried out in nadir and slant viewing both by a L...
