Scientific paper

We carried out imaging observations of Jupiter using the Near-Infrared Camera at the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory during the impacts of Periodic Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9. We obtained sequential data of the the plume due to the impact of fragment K at 2.35 mu m. The first indication of the impact was detected at 10h24m02s UT on 1994 July 19. A secondary peak was recognized at 10h25m26s UT, the flux of which was 1.9 times 10(-12) W m(-2) mu m(-1) . The maximum flux of the plume was 2.5 times 10(-10) W m(-2) mu m(-1) recorded at 10h38m37s UT. Possible interpretations for the complicated brightness variation of this plume are also discussed in this paper.
