Scientific paper

Calvert (1985) has proposed that solar type III radio bursts can trigger the onset of certain Jovian hectometer wavelength emissions. The authors show, using the data obtained by the Voyager Planetary Radio Astronomy experiment, that this triggering hypothesis is not supported statistically. Furthermore, the authors question the causality of this proposed triggering because much of the Jovian hectometer emission is due to a quasi-continuous radio source rotating, in lighthouse fashion, with Jupiter. Thus, an observed "onset" of emission is simply a function of the observer's position in local time around Jupiter.
