Jupiter: Polarimetry

Scientific paper

Polarimetric observations of Jupiter were carried out using different technique and different telescopes during apparitions of 1981, 1985, 1986, and 1989. Distributions of the linear polarization degree along the central meridian for different longitudes were obtained. A significant increase in the degree of linear polarization in polar regions was confirmed. Polarization increases abruptly from latitudes 40°N and 47°S toward the poles. A north-south asymmetry in the degree of polarization measured in polar regions is revealed: the polarization in north polar region within 5 - 6 arcsec is larger than in south polar region at the same latitudes. At low latitudes, the degree of linear polarization correlates with the zone-belt structure. The data for 1989 show the asymmetry in the phase angle dependence of polarization measured at north and south hemispheres. Variations of the polarization degree in polar regions with the central meridian longitude reveal systematic annual shift of modulation phase in the System III longitude and stable characteristics of modulation in the System IV.
