Scientific paper

The main oval of the jovian aurora is thought to be associated with the breakdown of corotation of the magnetospheric plasma that occurs at equatorial distances of about 20 Rj. Mapping of the magnetic field between the equator and the polar regions is strongly affected by currents in the equatorial plasmasheet. We have investigated variations in the magnetic morphology of the auroral region using both the Connerney et al. (1998) model (that has only azimuthal currents in the equator) as well as the Khurana (2001) model (that includes both radial and azimuthal currents). We have also explored the effects of local time asymmetries of the Khurana model on the field morphology.
