This proposal is for far-UV imaging and spectroscopy of Jupiter's north auroral emissions in the H Ly Alpha {1216 Angstrom} and H_2 Lyman and Werner bands {900-1650 Angstrom} at the same time as scheduled GALILEO UVS spectra of Jupiter in summer 1996. The HST data will extend our cycle 4 images and cycle 3 spectra of Jupiter's north auroral emissions, with specific sequences designed to follow up on existing observations: 1} a series of far-UV images of the north aurora over one Jovian rotation, at a time when Io's magnetic flux tube foot is visible to fix the geometry of the magnetic field and determine the variation in flux tube current with longitude and Io position, 2} GHRS G140L spectra to determine the hydrocarbon color ratio of three consistent emission features found in existing WFPC 2 far-UV images, and 3} GHRS Ech-A spectra of the H Ly Alpha line profile and H_2 Werner band ratios to measure the thermospheric dynamics and H_2 rotational temperature of the auroral emitting region. This in-depth study of the three regions will be complemented by the GALILEO UVS spectra at lower spectral resolution but higher angular resolution, EUV coverage, and different viewing geometry to study optical depth effects.
