A Jovian Decametric Emission Event Observed Locally by Juno and Remotely by Wind and STEREO-A at 1 au

Abstract Juno in situ observations provide insightful data on plasma, electric, and magnetic fields associated with Jovian decametric (DAM) emission, while remote-sensing observations offer broader spatial and temporal coverage. Combining both perspectives may help us understand the dynamic processes of DAM radiation. In this work, we present an Io-related DAM emission continued intermittently for at least 2 hr, observed by Juno in situ and remotely by Wind and STEREO-A. The Io-DAM emission evolved from three discrete narrow arcs to one mixed broad arc within 11 minutes in remote-sensing dynamic spectra. The source remained near a lead angle of 6° from the main Alfvén wing spot during the observation. Juno/JADE detected peaks in electron energy flux and an upward loss-cone distribution. Using a set of resonance circles, we estimate a maximum growth rate γ / ω c of 6.4 × 10 −4 , corresponding to electron energies of 0.2–10 keV and emission angles of 77°–88°. Meanwhile, we infer the properties of the source region of the event from the remote-sensing observations at 1 au. The inferred results on electron energy, emission angle, and source locations are consistent with the Juno in situ observations, suggesting the consistent properties of this Io-DAM event over 2 hr observational intervals. This consistency also reinforces the reliability of the remote sensing inversion method. Our work contributes to the establishment of long-term stereoscopic remote monitoring, addressing limitations in local observational coverage and enhancing our understanding of the dynamic processes of DAM emission.

Abstract

Abstract Juno in situ observations provide insightful data on plasma, electric, and magnetic fields associated with Jovian decametric (DAM) emission, while remote-sensing observations offer broader spatial and temporal coverage. Combining both perspectives may help us understand the dynamic processes of DAM radiation. In this work, we present an Io-related DAM emission continued intermittently for at least 2 hr, observed by Juno in situ and remotely by Wind and STEREO-A. The Io-DAM emission evolved from three discrete narrow arcs to one mixed broad arc within 11 minutes in remote-sensing dynamic spectra. The source remained near a lead angle of 6° from the main Alfvén wing spot during the observation. Juno/JADE detected peaks in electron energy flux and an upward loss-cone distribution. Using a set of resonance circles, we estimate a maximum growth rate γ / ω c of 6.4 × 10 −4 , corresponding to electron energies of 0.2–10 keV and emission angles of 77°–88°. Meanwhile, we infer the properties of the source region of the event from the remote-sensing observations at 1 au. The inferred results on electron energy, emission angle, and source locations are consistent with the Juno in situ observations, suggesting the consistent properties of this Io-DAM event over 2 hr observational intervals. This consistency also reinforces the reliability of the remote sensing inversion method. Our work contributes to the establishment of long-term stereoscopic remote monitoring, addressing limitations in local observational coverage and enhancing our understanding of the dynamic processes of DAM emission.
