- | This time was chosen because of a good chance to see DAM signals from both hemispheres of Jupiter, so that that could be calibration relative to each other. We observed with NenuFAR, the LWA (LWA1, LWA-SV), KAIRA, GLOW, and other international LOFAR stations (FIXME). It is very sad that our Ukrainian friends cannot participate with UTR2 anymore. | + | This time was chosen because of a good chance to see DAM signals from both hemispheres of Jupiter, so that they can be calibrated relative to each other. We observed with NenuFAR, the LWA (LWA1, LWA-SV), KAIRA, and a number of LOFAR stations (all six of GLOW, PL612, IE613, LV614). It is very sad that our Ukrainian friends cannot participate with UTR2 anymore. |
All LOFAR(-like) stations observed in RCU mode 3 (band 10_90) with 8-bit recording of 244 subbands (40-283, 8-55 MHz). Beamforming was done in direction ''0.5826639,0.2118205,J2000'' or ''0,0,JUPITER''. | All LOFAR(-like) stations observed in RCU mode 3 (band 10_90) with 8-bit recording of 244 subbands (40-283, 8-55 MHz).

+ | Diagnostic plots for all participating LOFAR stations (and eventually NenuFAR, FIXME) can be found {{:projects:jupiter:jupiter_2023_12_27_stat.pdf|here.}} They all show clear signatures from Jupiter in the dynamic spectra even at this very low resolution. | ||

These plots show the strong (Io-B?) arc, but unfortunately not the expected (Io-D) counterpart from the southern hemisphere that we had hoped for. The exact nature of these signals needs to be investigated. In any case the signal is clearly strong enough for a VLBI analysis. | These plots show the strong (Io-B?) arc, but unfortunately not the expected (Io-D) counterpart from the southern hemisphere that we had hoped for.

+ | He writes: "(1) It confirmes that the prominent vertex-early arcs are RH polarized (white on the bottom panel) and therefore consistent with Io-B emission (2) at the lowest frequencies, LH emission (black on the bottom panel) is seen continuously after 16:30, including what might be a signature of Io-D emission after 18:00". | ||

+ | This means we have a good chance to see emission from both hemispheres at least at the beginning of our observation. | ||
