Scientific paper

This article reports the observations of microwave emission from Jupiter during the impact of K, N, P2 and S fragments of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. The comparison of microwave bursts intensities produced by these impacts with the impact class and the size of the impactors reveals no correlation. This is in conformity with other observations at microwave frequencies and indicates that the process of burst emission is very complex. The impacts K and N produced three microwave bursts which could possibly be due to further fragmentation of these fragments. The results are discussed in the perspective of synchrotron emission from Jupiter and possible enhancements due to an increase in the radial diffusion coefficient. However, this model does not fully explain the observations.
