Description
All magnetized planets in the Solar System exhibit auroral emissions at different wavelengths. Planetary auroral activity provides a remote projection of processes occurring within the planetary magnetospheres. Jupiter possesses the most powerful and complex aurora in the Solar System, with emissions organized into three distinct regions around its magnetic poles: the main auroral oval, the polar emissions, and the magnetic footprints of Jovian satellites.
This work aims to revisit the works of Clarke et al. (2004) and Clarke (2012) and provide an introductory overview of Jupiter’s aurora and the magnetospheric processes associated with its different auroral emissions.
