| ABSTRACT | |
| Simultaneous observations with XMM-Newton and Juno over the last 3 years have revolutionised our understanding of the coupling between Jupiter's magnetosphere and ionosphere leading to new theories of how planets can produce X-rays. For example, evidence is building from joint XMM-Newton and Juno observations that ion cyclotron waves are one of the drivers for the gas giant's X-ray aurorae. However, we only have one more opportunity to utilise the unique capabilities of XMM-Newton and Juno before the jovian explorer is due to finish its mission in July 2021. Juno is now in the dusk sector of Jupiter's magnetosphere - a region that no other spacecraft will visit again for at least another decade. (Please see PDF for the complete abstract.) | |
