This proposal is for far-UV imaging and spectroscopy of Jupiter's auroral emissions in the H Ly-alpha {1216 Angstrom} and H_2 Lyman and Werner bands {1150-1650 Angstrom} at the same time as scheduled GALILEO spacecraft measurements of Jupiter's magnetospheric properties and UV emissions over summer/fall 1997. The HST data will extend our existing WFPC 2 images and GHRS spectra of Jupiter's auroral emissions from a cycle 5-6 program executed in June/September 1996 during a period of intensive GALILEO observations of Jupiter. Because the GALILEO mission does not have an auroral imager, these observations are key to the interpretation of the GALILEO magnetospheric and auroral data through the determination of the relative intensity and spatial distribution of auroral activity during GALILEO sequences. The GALILEO orbital mission will end in December 1997, although an extended mission may be approved to continue orbital activities after this time. We propose to take WFPC 2 images until the STIS can be scheduled, then to image Jupiter's UV aurora with STIS and WFPC 2 to relate the expected higher sensitivity STIS images to the extended baseline of WFPC 2 images. STIS spectral observations will also be obtained as early as possible. We also propose to observe the aurora intensively during the GALILEO Fields and Particles Campaign A in mid-1997.
