While Voyager and Ulysses spacecraft have given us line_4: in situ snapshots of the state of the torus and identified atomic line_5: and molecular species not seen from the earth, groundbased line_6: observations over a period of years have provided most of our line_7: understanding of its origin and evolution. We will use line_8: narrow-band images to observe neutral and ionized species on line_9: spatial scales smaller than the diameter of Io, just beyond the line_10: reach of groundbased observatories, in order to understand the line_11: origin and evolution of the plasma torus. HST resolution offers line_12: the unique opportunity to observe and define the `missing link' line_13: between Io's surface activity (volcanism, resurfacing, and line_14: generation of a tenuous atmosphere) and the Jovian plasma torus line_15: (which exhibits spatial structure near Io which is unresolved line_16: from the ground and variations in density and brightness on time line_17: scales from weeks to years). ! ! end of abstract general_form_proposers: lname: TRAUGER fname: JOHN title: DR. mi: T. inst: 2370 country: USA esa: N ! lname: CLARKE fname: JOHN title: PROF. mi: T. inst: 2660 country: USA esa: N ! lname: BURROWS fname: CHRIS inst: STSCI country: USA ! lname: CRISP fname: DAVID inst: JPL country: USA ! lname: HOESSEL fname: JOHN inst: UNIV.

Spacecraft line_3: encounters with Jupiter, including Voyager and Ulysses, provide line_4: in situ `ground truth' for the proposed obervations by line_5: simultaneously sampling at close range the charged particle line_6: composition, radio emissions, and large aperture FUV spectra. line_7: These spacecraft encounters, by their nature, cannot distinguish line_8: radial from longitudinal structure in the torus, and provide data line_9: for only a few widely separated points in time. Galileo will line_10: dwell in the vicinity of Jupiter for over a year, but following line_11: orbital insertion it will avoid further passage through the line_12: plasma torus. The torus emissions observed from the earth in line_13: the visible are too faint for observation by cameras in any of line_14: the spacecraft mentioned above. The torus consistently displays line_15: important spatial structure at spatial scales smaller than can be line_16: resolved from the ground. HST provides the increase in spatial line_17: resolution required to probe spatial scales smaller than Io, which line_18: is needed to define and distinguish the plasma injection and loss line_19: mechanisms. ! question: 4 section: 2 line_1: The proposed images contain both the torus line emissions and line_2: continuum background scattered and diffracted from Jupiter and line_3: its satellites. Required exposure times for atomic emissions are line_4: known from groundbased experience. With Io in the field of line_5: view, its surface brightness becomes the major factor in choosing line_6: exposure times. Exposure times are bracketed by the effects of line_7: surface-reflected continuum at the short end and need for S/N in line_8: atomic emissions at the long end. ! question: 5 section: 1 line_1: Electron-exicted emissions from the torus are faint compared to line_2: reflected continuum from both Jupiter and its Galilean satellites, line_3: even as seen in narrowband filters. Visibility of the Io/torus line_4: interaction region therefore depends on the orbital phases of Io line_5: as well as the the other Galilean satellites. For one set of line_6: observations, we wish to observe Io in eclipse but as far as line_7: possible from the bright Jovian disk. The HST should be rolled line_8: to place the Jovian rotational axis approximately parallel (within line_9: 10 degrees) to the columns in the selected CCD camera, in order line_10: to minimize the effects of diffraction spikes and blooming. ! !end of general form text general_form_address: lname: TRAUGER fname: JOHN mi: T. title: DR. category: PI inst: 2370 addr_1: 4800 OAK GROVE DRIVE addr_2: MAIL STOP 179-225 city: PASADENA state: CA zip: 91109 country: USA phone: 818-354-9594 ! ! end of general_form_address records !
