Scientific paper

In recent years, space environments of planets have become a very important subject of studies. The major dayside input is solar electromagnetic radiation in the UV band. At Earth, most studies rely on proxies, such as the f10.7 index, because direct UV observations are scarce. Equivalent proxies have been built for planets. An important question is: can the UV spectral variability be reconstructed from proxies or from observations with incomplete spectral coverage? In a series of papers, we have shown that this spectral variability can indeed be remarkably well reconstructed from the observation of a few spectral lines. We have studied three different methods explained here. We also show an applications on Ganymede's ionosphere. Finally, we provide recommendations for future planetary missions in terms of solar flux observation and instrumentation.
