Abstract :
[en] With 19 successfully completed Perijoves, Juno UVS has collected an enormous amount of data with unprecedented views of the northern and southern auroras spanning all local time geometries. Juno UVS, with its spectral and spatial mapping capabilities allows for the retrieval of both UV brightness as well as color ratio information. Maps of both the brightness and color ratio of the main ovals and polar emissions display strong local time variations, some suggestive of ionospheric local time control while others magnetosphere local time drivers. In this presentation we bring together all the UVS observations to date to show and catalogue the many local time phenomena evident therein.
