Scientific paper

In the present theoretical model of the Jovian auroral zone's CH4 and H2 vibrational excitation and deexitation processes, the calculation of the emission intensities of nu3 and nu4 bands of CH3 assume that electrons are the bombarding particles. The most uncertain part of the model calculation involves the energy flux spectrum of incident electrons on the auroral zone. Comparisons with Voyager 1 IRIS observations indicate a domination of the nonthermal, directly or indirectly particle bombardment-derived emission by the thermal emission of the CH4 band.
