Scientific paper

Jupiter and its neighbourhood are an exceptionally interesting source of X-rays within the solar system. We propose to observe the planet and its Galilean moons over two XMM-Newton orbits. A good signal-to-noise RGS spectrum of Jupiter's auroral 'hot spots' will resolve the question of their origin: energetic ion precipitation from entirely inside the magnetosphere, or acceleration of captured solar wind ions in the outer magnetosphere. With EPIC we will study oscillations observed by Chandra in the hot spot emissions, and the asymmetries in Jupiter's low-latitude X-ray emission first observed with ROSAT; we will study how Io's and its Plasma Torus X-ray emissions vary with Io's orbital phase about Jupiter, and we will obtain the first secure X-ray detections of all four Galilean satellites.
