Heavy ions in Jupiter's environment
Abstract
The extended atmosphere of the Jupiter system consists of heavy-element atoms and ions. This material originates on the satellite Io. Energy is lost from the thermal plasma in collisionally-excited optical and ultraviolet emission. The juxtaposition of earth and spacecraft measurements provide insight concerning the underlying processes of particle transport and energy supply.
