Wiggle plots – VIP4+CAN – For the trajectory uses dipole field with 9.6° tilt towards 202° System III longitude. For the fiducial field lines we used the VIP4 model with the CAN current sheet applied for local time dawn and longitude 202°. Sample field lines are shown for equatorial crossing distances of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 Rj for the zoom plots, 10, 20, 40, 50 Rj for the large plots. Small ticks show each UTC hour and large ticks show every 3 hours. Large black dots show the start of a new day, the red dot shows perijove, and the green dot shows 1 day before perijove.

Polar Plots – “Pigtail Plots” – VIP4+CAN – These plots show the magnetic footprint of the spacecraft (when within 10 RJ) projected onto the northern and southern hemispheres as viewed from above/below their respective poles (the way Juno sees the poles while flying over). They are calculated using the VIP4 magnetic field model. The large tick marks represent UTC hours. Small tick marks show every 15 min. Time of perijove is listed, along with the start and end times.

Deflection Angle Plots – These plots shows the angle between a model magnetic field and the Juno spin vector. These are used to determine when field aligned electrons are no longer in the field of view of JADE-E. (Jun 2017) Orbits 0-7 from C-Kernels on JSOC: DeflectionAngles_Zoom DeflectionAngles_FullOrbit

Deflection Angle Plots (July 2017) for specific orientations using reference C-Kernels (Grav, MWR, MWRTilt, MWR Cross Track, 30 degrees off, 60 degrees off). DA=Deflection Angles, Zoom=+/- 6 hours for all models, Full=Entire Orbit with VIP4+CAN model, MaxDA shows the maximum deflection angle within +/- 2 hours of perijove, and Version 2 (V2) corrects the angles once orbit precesses past midnight (after orbit 22):

COMPARISON (All 5 – except cross track – compared with VIP4+CAN +- 6 Hrs of PJ): DA_Compare_V2
Deflection Angle Plots – All 60 Degrees from Sun (24 Aug 2017). Each attitude is specified by two angles. In a coordinate system where X points towards the sun, Jupiter’s spin axis is in the XZ plane (with the z axis in the north within 4 degrees of the spin axis), and Y completes the set towards dusk, the first angle is the azimuthal angle rotation about the Z axis (with 0 towards the sun and positive angles towards dusk) and the second angle is the elevation off of the XY plane (with 0 towards the sun and positive angles in the northern hemisphere). We looked at elevations and azimuths from -60 to +60 at 10 degree increments.
Plots with fixed elevations and all azimuth angles: DA_Elevation-60 DA_Elevation-50 DA_Elevation-40 DA_Elevation-30 DA_Elevation-20 DA_Elevation-10 DA_Elevation+00 DA_Elevation+10 DA_Elevation+20 DA_Elevation+30 DA_Elevation+40 DA_Elevation+50 DA_Elevation+60

Auroral Ovals – these files provide the inner and outer auroral ovals for the north and south main aurora as observed by HST. See Bonfond et al. (GRL 2012). Text file, IDL files.
Magnetic field models – in plots below showing auroral crossings the default magnetic field model is VIP4+Khurana current sheet. In some cases we show auroral crossings for 4 magnetic field models: VIT4=red, VIP4=blue, VIPAL=green, Khurana=yellow.Magnetic Field Models – comparison of VIP4, VIT4, VIPAL, Khurana – Io Flux Tube comparison
