Scientific paper

We show that the spectral and temporal 'nested arcs' pattern of the Jovian decametric radio-dynamic spectrum can be interpreted as due solely to the diffraction of a radio-source by a phase changing plasma structure, located permanently in Jupiter's magnetosphere and rotating with the planet. This entirely new approach of the phenomenon explains in a simple way many observational features not understood so far. It allows to reinterpret the observations, thus yielding new constraints on the physics of the emission.
