Io‐D S‐burst Drift Rates

From Zarka et al., (1996)

• Io‐related emission• High‐Intensity millisecond bursts

• CMI emission:  5 keVelectrons accelerated from Io to Jupiter – Mirrored near Jupiter resulting in a loss cone of amplified X‐mode waves

• Adiabatic theory predicts the maximum drift rates (30 MHz/s)

S‐burst Drift Rate vs Frequency

How do the drift rates correlate with the sources?

Summary•Io‐D emission is prevalent•Io‐D CML and Io‐phase ranges need redefinition (f‐dependent)•Io‐D peak frequency = 26 MHz   ‐‐‐>   the southern hemisphere emission cone structure

•Io‐D modulation lanes•S‐bursts in Io‐D source are common – useful for emission theories

•LWA1 is an excellent instrument for Jupiter decameter studies‐ Excellent spectral and temporal resolution‐ Shows fine structures and polarization (Modulation lanes, L‐ and S‐

bursts, narrow band (N) events and S‐burst/N‐event interactions)

•LH and RH emission can be used for Faraday rotation studies
