RADIO EMISSION FROM JUPITER AT A WAVELENGTH OF 31 CM

Abstract

Radio emission from Jupiter was measured at a wavelength of 31 cm. The mean equivalent disk temperature is 5.5 x 1000 K. Two possible sources of the radiation are discussed: freefree transitions in a Jovian corona, and synchrotron emission from a Jovian van Allen belt. (Author)
