Scientific paper

Auroral phenomena in Jupiter are diagnostic of the structure, processes and energetics of its magnetosphere. Past X-ray observations have revealed latitudinal and longitudinal asymmetries, with spectra consistent with a model of sulfur and oxygen ions precipitating onto the Jovian atmosphere. This observation will provide a clear image of the X-ray emission during a full Jovian rotational period with spectral resolution sufficient to detect the expected emission linesif ion precipitations powers the X-ray aurora. Galilean moons immersed in the magnetosphere may emit X-rays due to particle bombardment, auroral activity or other process.
