Abstract :
[en] Juno is currently on an elliptical polar orbit around Jupiter, since July 2016, and has successfully gathered data during 10 perijoves sequences. Juno offers a fantastic opportunity to study Jupiter's magnetosphere and its spectacular auroras, which can be seen as a window screen of the entire Jovian magnetosphere. Juno not only allows for the first time to perform in-situ measurements of the particles while looking at their corresponding auroral emissions, it also gives access to unprecedented observing geometries for these emissions. The Juno Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) is a UV spectrograph with a bandpass that spans 70 to 205 nm and is designed to characterize Jupiter's UV emissions. In this talk, we present an overview of Juno-UVS operations and summarize the main findings obtained after 11 perijoves. We present UV images and color ratio maps of both the northern and southern auroras of Jupiter and present a comparison with simultaneous UV-observations from the ongoing Hubble campaign supporting Juno. We discuss how the observed features evolve over a wide range of timescales utilizing data from the first perijove (PJ1, August, 27th 2016) up until PJ11 (February, 7th 2017).
