First vertical ion density profile in Jupiter's auroral atmosphere: direct observations using the Keck II telescope.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present the first vertical ion density profiles of Jupiter's upper atmosphere derived directly from ground-based observations. Observations of infrared H+3 emissions in Jupiter's auroral/polar regions were collected by the high-resolution spectrometer NIRSPEC on the Keck II telescope. We have calculated vertical density profiles for a latitude in the southern auroral region using the measured column densities and a shell model of the Jovian ionospheric H+3emission. We compare our resultant profiles to those generated by a recent one-dimensional model in both local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and non-LTE conditions. We find good agreement with the model profiles up to 1800 km. Above that, however, our measurements show that more H+3 is produced than is predicted by the model. Our observational method is a new tool for probing Jupiter's upper atmosphere from Earth and can possibly be extended to the study of other gas giant planets.
