Visible aurora in Jupiter's atmosphereThe darkside limb pictures obtained by the imaging experiment on Voyager 1 have been reexamined. It is concluded that the observed luminosity is very likely due at least in part to Io torus aurora. If the effective wavelength of the emission lies in the 4000- to 5000-A region, the slant intensity is estimated to be about 20 kR. The observed double structure may be due to a number of causes such as horizontal structure in auroral emission, aurora plus twilight or photochemical airglow plus aurora.
