PEP Science Questions and Objectives
PEP Science Question 1: How does the corotating magnetosphere of Jupiter interact with the complex and diverse environment of Ganymede?
PEP Science Question 2: How does the rapidly rotating magnetosphere of Jupiter interact with the seemingly inert Callisto?
PEP Science Question 3: What are the governing mechanisms and their global impacts of release of material into the Jovian magnetosphere from seemingly inert Europa and active Io?

Science Highlights: Ganymede Interior
Disentangling the Induction Response of an Internal Ocean
Schematics adapted from Khurana et al. (2002) showing (a) magnetic field lines of the dipolar response (Bind (t)) of a spherical perfect conductor (in which induced eddy currents are flowing) to a uniform time-varying external field (Bprim(t)), (b) magnetic field lines of the resulting total field (Bprim(t)+ Bind (t)), which are tangent to the surface of the sphere and do not penetrate into the conductor.

Disentangling the Induction Response of an Internal Ocean
The dynamic plasma flow of the Jovian magnetosphere shapes and distorts the draped field around the icy moons. In a 500 km Ganymede orbit, the expected induction signal is 10’s of nT. The field perturbations from the plasma interactions are expected to be of the same order or more. Measurements of the plasma flows and densities are therefore analyzed together with the field measurements to isolate the pure induction signal.

Science Highlights: Ganymede Surface Interactions
Remotely Imaging the Particle Precipitation Patterns on Ganymede
Chandrayaan observations of the Lunar surface have revealed that ions impacting the surface back scatters as neutrals with 10-20% efficiency. This has enabled a technique to remotely image where ions impact the surface.
Jovian Neutral Atoms (JNA) The Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Kiruna Low-energy ENA 10 eV – 3 keV (H) 7˚x25˚ resolution
JNA images low-energy neutrals by converting them to ions that subsequently are guided through a light-trap and subjected to TOF analysis.
Science Highlights: Io Plasma Torus

Low-energy ENA (10-100’s eV) Remote Imaging of the Io Plasma Torus
Ions in the Io plasma torus charge exchange with the neutral gas and produce a “neutral spray” emanating around its tangential direction. Detection of these low-energy ENAs enables remote imaging of the Io torus ion distribution and temporal changes (Futaana et al., PSS, in review, 2014).

Science Highlights: Europa Sources
NIM’s prime targets are the icy moon exospheres and its relation to surface (and sub-surface) release. NIM resolves species and isotopes with high resolution to also help understand mineralogical composition of the surface. NIM’s ability to resolve mineral mixing ratios down to 1% provides IR measurements constraints on surface composition.
First-Ever In-situ Sampling of the Exospheres of the Jovian Moons
NIM is a ToF mass spectrometer using an ion mirror (reflectron) (Wurz et al., 2012). Neutrals are collected and ionized and then accelerated in the TOF ion mirror that separates mass.

Science Highlights: Europa Sources
Expected densities in Europa’s exosphere at the dayside. White and light brown areas indicate the range of possible NIM measurements during Europa flyby. Left boundary is given by the 400 km flyby altitude, lower boundary by the NIM sensitivity. Light brown area corresponds to radiation background.

Imaging the Global Variations of Europa’s Neutral Gas Cloud
The neutral gas torus of Europa is JENI’s brightest object in the Jovian system. JENI will therefore provide a possibility to monitor the variability of Europa’s gas cloud to constrain surface release processes and their variations remotely.
JENI is a combined ENA camera and ion imaging spectrometer. A foil-based TOF system provides triple coincidences to operate in Jupiter’s harsh environment.

Science Highlights:The Giant Particle Accelerator
Combining remote global ENA imaging of large-scale injections with high-resolution in-situ measurements has been a very successful technique used by Cassini at Saturn to fully probe the global behavior and detailed physical heating and transport mechanism.

Probing The Giant Particle Accelerator
JoEE measures an energy spectrum near-simultaneously in eight different directions using a self-closing magnets to separate electrons of different energies on to SSD pixels for spatial coincidences.
JoEE obtains pitch-angle distributions as a function of energy at sub-second resolution. This is key to probe the acceleration mechanisms that makes the Jovian magnetosphere the Giant Particle Accelerator of the solar system.
