Scientific paper

Images of near-IR H3(+) emission at 4 microns from Jupiter aurorae, recorded simultaneously with high-resolution spectra, are presented and the spatial and spectral characteristics of the emission are studied. The northern and southern emissions show strong spatial variation at the wavelengths of H3(+) emission. It is suggested that the appearance of the Jovian auroral regions at these wavelengths may be explained by a combination of localized H3(+) emission, reflection of sunlight by polar haze, and stratospheric CH4 emission in the 3.3-3.6 micron range.
