Scientific paper

Results of experiments carried out to obtain two-dimensional images of the sodium emission region associated with Io are presented. Through multislit spectrograms and Perot-Fabry interferograms, the dependence of the Na-emission distribution on Jupiter's magnetic field is demonstrated. The time scale of the observed changes in the Na emission is shown to require electron fluxes in the Jovian magnetosphere one order of magnitude larger than those obtained by an extrapolation of the proton fluxes measured in situ from the Pioneer 10 spacecraft.
