| Abstract | Over the next year, NASAs Juno spacecraft will fly through the magnetosphericregions that trigger Jupiters X-ray aurora. This provides aonce-in-a-generation opportunity to connect X-ray observations with simultaneousin-situ measurements of the magnetic and particle environment that produce thoseemissions. Given that Juno has no X-ray instrument, we propose to augment Junowith high spectral resolution XMM-Newton observations to answer 4 long-standingquestions: 1)What acceleration processes lead to Jupiters X-ray aurora? 2)Howdo in-situ conditions and particle fluxes relate to observed X-ray spectra? 3)IsJupiters X-ray aurora produced by solar wind or magnetosphere particles? 4)Howdo Jupiters X-rays relate to other wavebands? |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis. |
