Physics

Scientific paper

Recently, 3 micron auroral emission lines of CH4, C2H2, and C2H6 from the south polar auroral region of Jupiter were detected [1]. In order to understand the auroral processes producing these emissions, we constructed an electron precipitation model for the auroral atmosphere including H2, He, H, and the hydrocarbon molecules. We present preliminary results for the mixing ratios of these molecules in the stratosphere, which are consistent with the observed auroral emission intensities.
