Abstract :

[en] One of the most intriguing discoveries of Juno is the quasi-systematic detection of up-going electrons above the auroral regions. Here we discuss a byproduct of the most energetic component of this population: a contamination resembling bar codes in the Juno-UVS images. This pattern is likely caused by bursts of >10 MeV electrons penetrating the instrument. These events are mostly detected when Juno's magnetic footprint is located poleward of the main emission relative to the magnetic pole. The signal is not periodic, but the bursts are typically 0.1-1 second apart. They are essentially detected when Juno-UVS is oriented towards Jupiter, indicating that the signal is due to up-going electrons. The event detections occur between 1 and 7 Jovian radii above the 1 bar level, suggesting that the electron acceleration takes place close to Jupiter and is thus both strong and brief.
