Jovian radio emission below 5 mHzThe GS2 and GS3 operational modes of the planetary radio astronomy experiment on the Voyager 1 spacecraft are described as well as the dynamic spectra obtained. Repeated pulses of unpolarized emission (P bursts) recorded by GS2 were studied and attempts were made to correlate their occurrences, which have sudden onset and conclusion, with features in the GS3 dynamic spectra. The influence of the phase of any of the Galilean satellites or the subspacecraft system 3 longitude on P bursts was also investigated. Tables show Voyage 1 GS2 frequencies, high quality Jovian P bursts, and the geometry and pulse repetition frequency of the P burst groups. Plotted bursts are included.
