Scientific paper

Observations of Jupiter at all rotational aspects in all four Stokes parameters have been obtained, using the VLA at 18 and 20 cm. Maps of the total, linearly polarized, and circularly polarized intensity are presented with a resolution of 0.25 RJ. The pictures reveal several interesting phenomena, which have not been detected before. Close to the planetary "surface" a distinct emission feature exists north and south of each of the two main radiation peaks. The emission from 1.8 RJ up to ≡3 RJ from the planet's center is sharply confined to the magnetic equator.
