Scientific paper

The authors present a comprehensive theoretical model of both the auroral and nonauroral atmosphere and ionosphere of Jupiter and use this model to study particle precipitation effects on the Jovian upper atmosphere, both at mid- and high-latitudes. The sources of energy in the model include extreme ultraviolet radiation (EUV) and energetic electrons. The precipitation of mono-energetic beams of both 1- and 10-keV electrons at high Jovian latitudes are treated in detail, and the effects of higher energy electrons (approximately 125 keV) and soft electrons at mid- and low-latitudes are also considered. The effects of this precipitation such as airglow excitation, ionization, dissociation, and heating are examined. Also included in this work are calculations of the densities of hydrogen, hydrocarbons, and the important ions as well as the temperatures of the neutral, electron, and ion species.
