Current and Future Exploration of the Jovian Magnetosphere
Convener: Scott Bolton | Co-conveners: Vincent Hue, Corentin LouisECSECS, Chiara CastagnoliECSECS, Robert Ebert

Jupiter’s magnetosphere is one of the most dynamic and complex systems in the solar system. Juno’s mission extension is currently awaiting NASA’s decision. If selected, continued in situ and remote exploration, supported by Hubble, Hisaki, JWST, and ground-based telescopes, will further our understanding of Jupiter’s auroras and magnetospheric environment. These findings, combined with data from past missions, are reshaping our understanding of the Jovian system.

This session addresses how Juno’s discoveries advance our knowledge of auroral acceleration and wave–particle interactions, auroral phenomenology, magnetosphere–ionosphere coupling, moon–magnetosphere interaction, magnetopause structure, and plasma transport across the Jovian magnetosphere. These results provide key constraints to prepare for the next phase of Jovian exploration with ESA’s JUICE mission and NASA’s Europa Clipper. We welcome contributions highlighting Juno results, along with insights from past and future missions, to better understand Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
