NASA’s Juno mission is devoted to study the origin and evolution of
Jupiter, which are the keys to understand the fundamental processes
and conditions that governed our solar system during its formation.

Orbiting around Jupiter since July 4, 2016, Juno is the first
spacecraft in a polar
orbit around this gas giant. Its scientific payload includes
instrumentation to study the interior, the atmosphere, and to perform
the first in-situ exploration of Jupiter’s polar magnetosphere and
aurorae.

An Earth-based observation campaign of Jupiter and the solar wind has
been organised to boost Juno's scientific return.

This session welcomes presentation of outcomes from the Juno
measurements, the collaborative campaign during the first two year of
Juno’s prime mission and results from studies of other giants in the
solar system.

The session will focus on data analysis and on theoretical modelling
of Jupiter’s interior structure, its intense magnetic field and
plasma circulation, the atmospheric dynamics and composition, and on
the structure and evolutions of the planet's auroras. We also welcome
discussions about comparative planetology with other giants in the
solar system.
