Analysis of spatial structure and energy spectrum of electrons in the Jupiter’s radiation belts using GMRT

Jupiter’s synchrotron radiation (JSR) is emitted from the high-energy electrons trapped in the Jupiter’s radiation belts. Its intensity and frequency depend on electron energy, electron number density, and magnetic field strength.

We are observing the JSR with several telescopes, including the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT) in India, and analyzing the data to estimate the spatial structure and energy spectrum of electrons in Jupiter’s radiation belts.
