Scientific paper
instrumentSTIS HST/STIS observations of Jupiter's aurora have revealed many fascinating and detailed aspects of these complex and energetic emission processes. The main UV emissions and their morphologies have been determined, with different emissions varying on time scales from seconds to days. With observations spaced months apart, and no record of the solar wind conditions near Jupiter, however, it has not been possible to determine the cause and effect relations governing the many variations. A unique opportunity to study these complex variations will exist when the Cassini spacecraft flys by Jupiter in December 2000. We propose to perform STIS observations of Jupiter's UV aurora in two campaigns along with Cassini measurements of the solar wind before closest approach, then another campaign when Cassini is just past Jupiter and looking back at the night side aurora. The proposed series of STIS observations, covering nearly complete Jupiter rotations, will permit us to perform several known key measurements of the auroral emissions, and also to study uniquely the effects of solar wind variations on the auroral morphology.
