Scientific paper

In the frame of the future EJSM and Juno missions, we will study how the UV is a relevant observable to constraint the energies of the precipitating partices in the auroral regions. Two main emissions will be considered: H-Lyman at 121.7 nm and the very rich H2 spectrum between 80 and 170 nm. Calculations of these emissions have been done through the Trans* model in various conditions. We show that the HLyman line is sensitive to electrons up to 10 keV. The H2 spectra is sensitive to a larger range of energies but due to its very large number of lines, it is not easy to retrieve precisely energies of the precipitating electrons. We explore in this paper several solutions.
