Spectra of soft x-ray and EUV emissions of oxygen ions, precipitating into the Jovian atmosphere, are calculated, taking into account the dynamical character of the energy and charge distributions of the ions as they propagate. Monte-Carlo simulations are performed using experimental and theoretical cross sections of ion collisions with the atmospheric gases. The numbers of x-ray and EUV photons produced per precipitating oxygen ion are calculated as functions of the initial ion energy and charge. The energy and charge distribution functions are used to evaluate the intensities of characteristic x-ray and EUV spectral emission lines of oxygen ions in the Jovian aurora.
