The Juno spacecraft is placed in the 53-day polar orbit around Jup iter taking data of its atmospheric composition, magnetic fields and gravit y in order to study fundamental questions about planetary formation, evolut ion and physics. I will review the latest observations of Jovian clouds and radiometric measurements that probe planetary weather systems to unprecede nted depths.
I will also discuss Juno’s observations of t he Jovian auroras formed in high-latitude atmospheric layers of the planeta ry polar regions. Juno’s measurements are complemented by observation s from the ground telescopes. For example while Juno measures particle ener gies in the Jovian magnetosphere, our spectroscopic observations of Jupiter aurora with the Gemini telescope provide high-resolution maps of near-infr ared emissions that allow us to understand physical conditions in the upper atmosphere of the planet.
Dr Lucyna Kedziora-Chudczer is a Research Fello w at the University of New South Wales.
After completing her PhD on t he radio variability of Active Galactic Nuclei at the University of Sydney in 1999, she became the AAO/ATNF Research Fellow at the Anglo Australian Ob servatory studying polarization properties and monitoring the intraday vari able quasars.
In 2003 she moved to the University of Sydney, where sh e was offered a position of the Harry Messel Research Fellow, and continued her work on both the polarization of compact radio sources and properties of our local Galactic Interstellar Medium. During this time, she also taugh t undergraduate courses and mentored the PhD students.
In 2009 she ac cepted a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the UNSW in the area of planetary and e xo-planetary science. She is a member of the Australian Centre for Astrobio logy. Her interests include the spectroscopy and polarimetry observations o f exoplanets, as well as the modelling of planetary atmospheres. Recently s he was involved in the design and construction of the High Precision Polari metric Instrument (HIPPI) used at the Anglo Australian Telescope for observ ations of exoplanets and bright stars.
