Scientific paper

The Lyman β dayglow of Jupiter provides an important source of information about its atmosphere. The H Lyman β and the H26-0 P(1) line of the Lyman system overlap, resulting in a coupling effect between these two lines. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of this overlapping via radiative transfer modelling and show its effect both on the integrated intensity and the line profile. The intensity increases at about 1025 Å at the centre of the disc, tends to slightly decrease at the limb, and creates an asymmetry in the profile. This asymmetry is also present in the jovian H-Lyman α bulge region.
