Scientific paper

The paper describes a new component of Jupiter's radio spectrum. This component emits in a very narrow bandwidth (less than 40 kHz) near 100 kHz. Its waveform is a very smooth and gradual rise and subsequent fall in intensity over typically two hours. The emission is polarized with left-hand polarization associated with the Jovian northern magnetic hemisphere and righthand with the south. The most interesting feature of the emission is its deviation from a strict System III rotation period repetition rate. The emission source of this narrow-band component clearly rotates slower by 3-5% than all other forms of Jovian radio emission. Propagation considerations coupled with this observed lack of corotation point to a source region near the magnetic equatorial plane at the outer 'edge' of the Io plasma torus.
