Juno Plasma Wave Observations at Europa
<p>This is the supporting data set for the paper by the same title published in AGU JGR Space Physics.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><br>Juno passed by Europa at an altitude of 355 km on 29 September, day 272, 2022. As one of Juno's in situ science instruments, the Waves instrument obtained observations of plasma waves that are essential contributors to Europa's interaction with its environment. Juno observed chorus, a band at the upper hybrid frequency providing the local plasma density, and electrostatic solitary structures in the wake. In addition, impulses due to micron-sized dust impacts on Juno were recorded with a local maximum very close to Europa. The peak electron density near Europa was ∼ 330 cm−3 while the surrounding magnetospheric density was in the range of 50 to 150 cm−3. There was a significant separation between the Europa flyby and Juno's crossing of Jupiter's magnetic equator, enabling a unique identification of effects associated with the moon as opposed to magnetospheric phenomena normally occurring at the magnetic equator near 10 Jovian radii.</p>
