Two radio telescopes in Australia, the Australia Telescope and the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope were used to observe Jupiter before, during and after the impacts of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994. The telescopes observed at wavelengths of 13, 22 and 36 cm and produced 2-D images of Jupiter's synchrotron radiation belts, showing that the brightness of a portion of these belts was strongly affected by the comet impacts. Starting about one day after the first impact and reaching a peak soon after the time of the last impact the integrated flux density increased by approximately 25--30% at 13 and 22 cm and 40% at 36 cm. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1995 |
