Comet Shoemaker-Levy (1993e) and Jupiter's Magnetosphere

9322122 de Pater de Pater博士将在苏梅克-列维9号彗星穿过木星磁层并进入大气层时进行一项厘米波长的全球观测活动。彗星碎片和尘埃粒子穿过磁层，随后对木星大气层产生一系列影响，预计将导致木星同步辐射的巨大变化，这将产生关于磁层过程的新信息。＊＊＊

9322122 de Pater Dr. de Pater will conduct a world-wide observing campaign at centimeter wavelengths when Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 passes through Jupiter's magnetosphere and into its atmosphere. The passage of the cometary fragments and dust particles through the magnetosphere followed by a series of impacts into the planet's atmosphere are expected to cause dramatic changes in Jupiter's synchrotron radiation that will yield new information on magnetosphere processes. ***
