Zusammenfassung:
The spatial distribution of whistler-mode wave emissions in the Jovian magnetosphere measured during the first 45 perijove orbits of Juno is investigated. A double-belt structure in whistler-mode wave intensity is revealed. Between the two whistler-mode belts, there exists a region devoid of 100 s keV electrons near the magnetic equator at . Insufficient source electron population in such an electron “slot” region is a possible explanation for the relatively lower wave activity compared to the whistler-mode belts. The wave intensity of the outer whistler-mode belt measured in the dusk-premidnight sector is significantly stronger than in the postmidnight-dawn sector. We suggest that the inherent dawn-dusk asymmetries in source electron distribution and/or auroral hiss emission rather than the modulation of solar cycle are more likely to result in the azimuthal variation of outer whistler-mode belt intensity during the first 45 Juno perijove orbits.
