摘要:

2016年,美国宇航局朱诺号飞船将启动为期一年的环绕木星任务,成为首个探索木星极地的探测器。哈勃空间望远镜的紫外线仪器(STIS和ACS)可以通过提供从地球轨道观测木星紫外极光的关键补充视图,为朱诺号任务的成功做出巨大贡献。朱诺号携带一台紫外线摄谱仪和一台红外线光谱测绘仪,它们将获得高分辨率光谱图像,为朱诺号使用等离子体JADE和JEDI粒子探测器进行的现场粒子和场测量提供极光对应物。朱诺号飞行任务将是第一次同时测量高纬度高能粒子及其产生的极光发射的机会。由于方案和技术限制,传输到地球的紫外线观测数据量将受到严格限制。因此,在朱诺号任务的一年寿命期间,哈勃空间望远镜尽可能多地捕捉木星紫外极光的额外信息是极其重要的。这份白皮书是对“朱诺倡议”的呼吁,该倡议将确保为这一独特的太阳系任务分配足够数量的轨道。

英文摘要:

In 2016, the NASA Juno spacecraft will initiate its one-year mission around Jupiter and become the first probe to explore the polar regions of Jupiter. The HST UV instruments (STIS and ACS) can greatly contribute to the success of the Juno mission by providing key complementary views of Jupiter's UV aurora from Earth orbit. Juno carries an ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) and an infrared spectral mapper (JIRAM) that will obtain high-resolution spectral images providing the auroral counterpart to Juno's in situ particles and fields measurements with the plasma JADE and JEDI particle detectors. The Juno mission will be the first opportunity to measure simultaneously the energetic particles at high latitude and the auroral emissions they produce. Following programmatic and technical limitations, the amount of UVS data transmitted to Earth will be severely restricted. Therefore, it is of extreme importance that HST captures as much additional information as possible on Jupiter's UV aurora during the one-year life of the Juno mission. This white paper is a plea for a "Juno initiative" that will ensure that a sufficient number of orbits is allocated to this unique solar system mission.
