Scientific paper

Observations of the low frequency part of Jupiter decameter wavelength (DAM) emissions were made using the Cassini radio and plasma wave science (RPWS) instrument. We have analyzed non-Io-DAM occurrence dependence from 4 MHz to 16 MHz based on the System III central meridian longitude (CML) of the Cassini spacecraft and calculated the occurrence probability for each frequency. As a result of this analysis, the two peaks of non-Io-B and non-Io-A occurrence probability showed a dramatic change in longitude between 9 MHz and 16 MHz. At 16 MHz two peaks of probability occurred at 160° and 240° CML. As the frequency decreases to 9 MHz, the two peaks converged to become one peak near 205° CML at 9 MHz. This peak gradually disappeared below 9 MHz. Based on Jupiter's magnetic VIP4 model, an angular beaming model was made to explain these observational results by taking into account the decreasing cone half-angle of the emitting cone from 16 MHz down to 9 MHz. We found the active magnetic flux tubes of non-Io-B and non-Io-A sources are localized at about 180° +/- 10° of System III longitude projected on Jupiter's surface.
