Scientific paper

The IUE has been used since 1979 to remotely monitor the physical conditions in the Jovian magnetospheric system using the in situ Voyager measurements as a basis for comparison. Both the Io plasma torus, observable in emission of S+, S++ and S+3, and the Jovian H2 polar aurorae are accessible to the IUE short wavelength spectrograph. Despite significant short-term variations sometimes observed, the electron density and temperature structure of the torus has not changed appreciably in the seven years since the Voyager encounters. Similarly, the total radiated power from the polar aurorae has remained relatively constant during this period.
