Abstract
Observations by the plasma wave receivers on Voyager-1 and -2 show that a wide variety of electrostatic waves are present within the magnetosphere of Jupiter and that Jupiter's electrostatic waves are, for the most part, similar to those observed in the terrestrial magnetosphere. Bands of emission near the upper hybrid resonance frequency in the dayside outer magnetosphere are detected between higher harmonics of the electron gyrofrequency. Inside similar to 23 R sub(J) , electron cyclotron harmonic emissions appear to be durable features of the inner part of Jupiter's magnetosphere and are extremely well confined to Jupiter's magnetic equator. The cyclotron emissions extend from just above the local electron gyrofrequency to the upper hybrid resonance frequency.
