Scientific paper
Forty-six low-dispersion spectra with high temporal resolution (about 2.5 minutes) are used to investigate the distribution and intensity of the nebular S II forbidden line emission at 6716 and 6731 A around Jupiter. The emission is found to be in the form of a ring in the vicinity of the Jovian magnetic equator with radial limits between four and seven Jovian radii. It is suggested that the ring thickness is quite variable, and that the variation found in intensity with longitude is caused by preferential plasma loading of field lines associated with the Io-induced Jovian decametric bursts.
