|
Photoelectron escape fluxes and ambient electron heating form the Jovian ionosphere are computed as a function of local time and latitude. Several differences for the fluxes expected from a hydrogen atmosphere, rather than a terrestrial type of atmosphere, are described, including an increase in structure in the energy spectra due to the paucity of ionic states entering the photo-ionization processes and lower escape fluxes above 10 eV than were expected from a simple scaling of earth fluxes. |
