Scientific paper

We propose HRC-I observations of Jupiter's x-ray emissions. At 10 times the spatial resolution of existing observations, the Chandra data will allow: 1) latitudinal location of the x-ray relative to far-ultraviolet auroral emissions, which will allow confirmation of the x-ray magnetospheric source region; 2) separation of the two sources of low-latitude x-rays (radiation-belt particle precipitation and solar x-ray fluorescence), establishing their relative importance, and the mapping of high-order B-field components; 3) a search for lightning-generated x-ray emissions from high-shear zones in the lower atmosphere. The observations will be part of an extensive campaign during the Cassini flyby of Jupiter, including 35 HST orbits, which will greatly enhance the science yield of the data.
