33
Goddard Space Flight Center Jet Propulsion Laboratory National Aeronautics and Space Administration 33 Jovian InfraRed Auroral Mapper JIRAM is both an imager and a spectrometer. Heritage from: Cassini, Venus Express, Dawn and Rosetta. The spectrometer operates in the spectral range 2-5 µm (resolution of 9 nm). The imager has two contiguous channels at 3.3-3.6 µm for auroras and at 4.5-5.0 µm for Jovian thermal emission. H 3 + has strong emissions throughout JIRAM’s spectral range.
34
Goddard Space Flight Center Jet Propulsion Laboratory National Aeronautics and Space Administration 34 JIRAM maps Jovian aurorae at infrared wavelengths emitted by H 3 +. This ion is formed at the base of the exosphere through the reaction H 2 + + H 2 H 3 + + H. JIRAM will visualize Jovian infrared auroral emissions in conjunction with ultraviolet auroral emissions observed by Juno’s UVS. NADIR and limb observations with JIRAM’s spectrometer measures temperature and concentrations of emitting ions.
