Summary
1) Motivations for studying Jupiter’s X-rays 2) X-ray Auroral morphology and features 3) Possible connections between Jupiter’s X-ray Aurora and the Solar Wind 4) Upcoming X-ray campaigns: a) Juno approach – Chandra (PI: Kraft and Jackman) & XMM-Newton (PI: Dunn) b) Juno polar orbits -- Chandra (PI: Gladstone)
2
Motivations for Studying Jupiter’s X-ray Aurora 1) Jupiter’s X-ray Aurora seems to exhibit relationships to the Solar Wind –- general
trends and distinctive order of magnitude brightening during CMEs. This could help to identify the nature of Jupiter’s relationship to the solar wind.
2) Provide a partial mapping of downward current regions -- identified through the spectral lines of precipitating ions.
3) Information about the drivers and acceleration processes in the main oval and polar regions -- variation in X-ray emission from 10-100 keV electrons and from MeV ions

Components of X-ray Emission
Polar Aurora Component
Equatorial/Disk Component
Disk X-rays are from fluoresced and scattered solar photons – so changes
in solar X-ray flux are reflected in Jupiter’s disk emission.

• Big green dots = Hard X-rays (Energies: 2-5 keV)
• Small green dots = Soft
X-rays (Energies: 0.2-1.5 keV)
Left figure shows a projection of Jupiter’s North Pole from Chandra X-ray observations in 2003 (green dots). These are superposed on a simultaneous Hubble UV projection (orange).

• Big green dots
• Brehmsstrahlung –10s-100s keV electrons
• Overlap Main UV oval • Significant variation in counts
from observation to observation, may relate to solar wind
• May relate to dawn storms

Soft X-rays – the Hot Spot
• Small green dots
• Hot Spot – poleward of UV oval – origin beyond middle magnetosphere.
• MeV ions Charge Exchange
• Oxygen (O7+,8+)
• Sulphur (S7+…16+) and/or Carbon (C5+,6+) - current spectral resolution cannot distinguish.
• S = magnetospheric origin • C = solar wind origin • O = Either

X-ray Aurora Source
• Hot Spot Core (red) maps to near magnetopause • Emission shows a ~50/50 mapping to closed and open field lines • ‘Halo’ (blue) maps to several origins
• Magnetopause mapping implies that Jupiter’s X-ray aurora may provide a diagnostic of Jupiter-Solar Wind interactions.

• Hard and Soft X-ray Emission increased
around the time of the 2003 Halloween storms.
Kimura et al. 2016 (figure):
• X-ray emission correlated to SW Velocity • X-ray emission not correlated to SW density
• During generally quieter solar wind conditions

Jupiter’s X-ray - Solar Wind Relationship and the Upcoming Observations Is there a solar wind parameter connected to the X-ray aurora and, if so, how does it link to the drivers of emission? • IMF direction? -- Pulsed Dayside reconnection [Bunce et al. 2004] ?
• SW Density/Dynamic Pressure? -- Magnetosphere Compression [Dunn et al. 2016] ?
• SW Velocity? -- Kelvin Helmholtz [Kimura et al. 2016] ?
• Internally Driven? -- MV Potentials on down FACs [Cravens et al. 2003] To help identify SW driver -> X-ray obs during Juno approach (PI: Kraft & Jackman;PI: Dunn) • May 20: XMM 10 hour Observation
• May 26: Simultaneous XMM and Chandra 10 hour Observations
• June 1: Chandra 10 hour Observation Also simultaneous with HST observations (PI J. Nichols) which helps connect features and identify global current systems (UV = mostly upward ; X-ray = mostly downward)
18
Jupiter’s X-ray - Solar Wind Relationship and the Upcoming Observations
19
• Ebert et al. 2014 used Ulysses data from an analogous point in the solar cycle.
• More structured
• ~1 week between compression and rarefaction.
For X-ray observations: • Appropriate separation to
increase chance of alternating SW conditions
• Simultaneous with HST
19
XMM- Newton –EPIC and RGS
High Spectral Resolution – poor spatial resolution
Chandra – High Resolution Camera
High Spatial Resolution – no spectral resolution

2nd Observation !CME Recovery"
CXO Campaign During Juno Orbits
Juno presents the unique opportunity to study the X-ray emission from the hot spot, while traversing the field lines producing it. -> 80 hour Chandra campaign (PI: Gladstone). Observations during: Northern Aurora: GRAV orbits 5, 13, 22, & 34 Southern Aurora: MWR orbit 6 and GRAV orbits 11, 20, & 36 This will also help: • Identify further connections between UV polar flares and X-rays [E.g: Elsner et al. 2005]
• Assess the source of the quasi-periodicity
• Identify hot spot drivers (Dayside reconnection [Bunce et al. 2004] Vs Kelvin Helmholtz [Kimura et al. 2016] Vs MV Potentials on down FACs [Cravens et al. 2003])
• Test various mapping models VIPAL, VIP4, Grodent Anomaly….
• Identify possible X-ray emission from the Galilean moons and Io Plasma Torus.
21
Conclusions Juno presents a unique opportunity to probe the sources of Jupiter’s X-ray Aurora: Science Questions for Approach Campaign (CXO PI: Kraft and Jackman; XMM PI: Dunn) 1. Which solar wind parameter (if any) is connected with the X-ray aurora?
2. What is the nature of the X-ray producing Jupiter-Solar wind interaction?
3. How does X-ray emission connect with UV features (HST) and other wavebands?
Juno instruments ware very important for us to be able to connect SW with X-ray aurora - we are very keen to collaborate. We are also keen to collaborate with other EM wavebands. Science Goals for Polar Orbit Campaign (CXO PI: Gladstone) 1. Test theories [e.g., Cravens et al. 2003; Bunce et al. 2004] on the source of emissions by
comparing ‘cusp’ measurements with X-ray (Chandra) and UV emissions (Juno UVS).
2. Identify which conditions produce the ~45 min quasi-periodic X-ray intensity oscillations and how these correlate with energetic particle fluxes and radio emission.
3. To constrain mapping models (e.g., VIP4 [Connerney et al., 1998], VIPAL [Hess et al., 2011]) with a high-quality map of X-ray emission topology
4. Search for X-ray emission from the Galilean moons and Io Plasma Torus (IPT).

Mapping the X-ray Hot Spot Source
• Sulphur has a lower ionisation potential than oxygen.
• So it may be that one region energises sulphur sufficiently for X-ray production, but does not inject enough energy to do the same for oxygen.

Connecting Wavelengths - UV
Juno UVS alongside HST, Chandra and XMM observations will help to identify connections between UV polar flares [e.g: Bonfond et al. 2011] and X-ray events that are found in similar locations at similar times [Elsner et al. 2005]. Providing richer datasets to study the drivers of features with similar origins.
28
Connecting Wavebands - Radio
Radio events have been noted to share similar periodicity to the X-ray events [e.g: Macdowall et al. 1993; Gladstone et al. 2002]. Bursts of Jovian non-Io decametric emission coincident with strong solar activity have also been found to occur at similar times to significant brightening of the X-ray aurora, suggesting similar origins. Although the X-ray events were associated with downward moving ions, while the radio emission is thought to be associated with upward moving electrons.
