In this project, Hubble Space Telescope observations of Jupiter's FUV auroras will be analyzed, potentially in conjunction with Juno data, in order to examine how Jupiter's magnetosphere and auroras vary with key system parameters, such as rate of plasma mass outflow from Io. These observations can also be compared with models of the planet's magnetodisc structure to build up a coherent picture of how Jupiter's magnetosphere behaves. This project is computational in nature, involving data analysis and potentially computer modelling using the Python programming language.

在这个项目中，哈勃空间望远镜对木星FUV极光的观测将被分析，可能与朱诺号数据一起，以研究木星的磁层和极光如何随关键系统参数而变化，例如等离子体质量从木卫一流出的速率。这些观测结果也可以与行星的磁盘结构模型进行比较，以建立木星磁层行为的连贯图像。该项目本质上是计算性的，涉及数据分析和使用Python编程语言的潜在计算机建模。
