Jupiter Probability Tool V1.0

Thursday 25 May 2023, by Baptiste Cecconi

This online tool provides users with Jovian radio emission observability predictions, depending on the observers location, and the radio emission class. It is described in details in Cecconi et al. (2023).

Description

Jupiter is a source of intense radio emissions in the decametric wavelength range observable from ground (above 10 MHz) and from space (down to a few kHz). The strong anisotropy of the Jovian radio sources results in characteristic shapes in the temporal-spectral domain, which can be used to identified the various types of Jovian radio components. The Jupiter Probability Tool provides users with Jovian radio emission observability predictions, depending on the observers location, and the radio emission class. The application can be used for observation planning or data analysis for ground or space observations.

The tool uses previously published Phase-CML maps [Marques et al, 2017; Leblanc et al, 1993; Zarka et al, 2018a,b; Louis et al, 2017; Jácome et al. 2022], all gathered in Lamy et al [2022]. It also displays data from ExPRES [Louis et al, 2019, 2020] and from Nançay Decameter Array [Lamy et al, 2017, 2021]. It is relying on a local WebGeoCalc instance [Acton et al, 2018] for ephemeris computation.
