| High energy electrons trapped in Jupiter's
radiation belts emit synchrotron radiation at radio wavelengths. Here we
show the movie of a 3-D reconstruction of ATCA 20-cm Jupiter's synchrotron
radiation. The angular resolution is about 0.3 Jovian radii. The ATCA data
were taken by
Dulk, Leblanc and Sault (1997); the 3-D reconstruction software was
developed at the ATNF by Sault, Oosterloo, Dulk & Leblanc (1997). - The planet itself is
shown in red while the radiation belts are shown in
green. Follow the links for more information.
