| Description | The radio emission from Jupiter in the decametric range (2 to 40 MHz) has been studied for three decades. It is known that this emission is correlated with particular longitude regions on the planet and with the position of the satellite Io. The Planetary Radio Astronomy experiment on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft observed this emission, obtaining valuable new information. The objectives of this study are as follows: (1) calculate raypaths for decametric wavelength radiation in Jupiter's magnetosphere; (2) compare the model-dependent raypaths with the Voyager observations; and (3) deduce characteristics of the source regions and the influence of propagation effects. |
