During its 53-day polar orbit around Jupiter, Juno often crosses the boundaries of the Jovian magnetosphere, namely the magnetopause and bow shock, as well as the plasma disc (located at the centrifugal equator). The positions of the magnetopause and bow shock allow us to determine the dynamic pressure of the solar wind (using both the updated model of Joy et al. 2002 by Ranquist et al., 2020 and/or in situ data) which allows us to infer magnetospheric compression or relaxation, while the observations of plasma disc perturbations allows us to infer magnetospheric reconfigurations.
The aim of this study is to examine Jovian radio emissions during magnetospheric perturbations. We then use our analysis to determine the relationship between the solar wind and Jovian radio emissions (observed and emitted from different regions of the magnetosphere, from different mechanisms, and at different wavelengths from kilometers to decameters).
In this presentation, we show case studies for each typical case (bow shock, magnetopause and plasma disk crossings) and show that the activation of new radio sources is related to magnetospheric disturbances. By performing a statistical study of these crossings, we hope to be able to show the relationship between the activation of new radio sources (emission intensity and extension, source positions) and the solar wind (dynamic pressure, magnetic intensity, ...), with the aim of being able to use observations of planetary radio emission as a proxy for the solar wind.
