Scientific paper

On the basis of pictures of Jupiter obtained during the period from July 17 to August 12, 1994, the areas of the dust clouds associated with impact sites of Comet SL9 fragments are determined. It is shown that the cloud size changes are oscillatory processes with several characteristic periods. Periods of 5.33 and 2.66 terrestrial days are identified. We suggest that these periods could be associated with Io and Europa satellite locations. Cloud expansion velocity in the Jovian atmosphere is about 10 m/s. Cloud mass at the place of impact is approximately one order of magnitude of the fragment mass or approximately the total mass of the complex.
