Scientific paper

We propose to analyze high-resolution H2 emission spectra of Jupiter's aurora obtained by STIS during the Cassini-Jupiter flyby campaign of 12/2000-1/2001. We will use a recently modified version of an interactive electron transport model coupled with an H2 synthetic spectral generator to extarct information on energetics of precipitating electrons. We will then use this information {along with other quantities, such as temperature and composition} to constrain our newly-developed Jupiter Thermosphere General Circulation Model {JTGCM}. The results will enhance our understanding of how the Jovian aurora manages to affact its upper atmospheric dynamics and thermal structure on a global scale.
