Scientific paper

Two groups of two high spectral resolution images of the far ultraviolet Jovian aurora have been obtained with the FOC on board the Hubble Space Telescope. The H2 Lyman band images confirm that the discrete aurora lies at the footprint of magnetotail field lines. The change of morphology from a narrow bright arc in the morning to a broad diffuse aurora in the afternoon sector is an important result suggesting two different populations of precipitated particle and/or two distinct acceleration mechanisms but may also be a real longitude effect.
