Research Abstract

It is NOT well known how Jupiter's magnetosphere interacts with the solar wind and how magnetic reconnection works. Our plan was to carry out continuous monitoring observations in the infrared atop Mauna Kea, so that the evidence of magnetic reconnection at Jupiter is detected for the first time. We have developed an infrared camera, with a PtSi detector, and exchanged a Memorandum of Understandings with the University of Hawaii, Hilo. Although the data acquisition was delayed, due to a large delay of the telescope installation, our system development has been successfully completed so that the monitoring observations in coming years are in hand.
