Revealing the source of Jupiter's X-ray auroral flares
New research article led by Yao Zhonghua and William Dunn from the ISSI-BJ International Team
"The morphology of auroras at Earth and giant planets: characteristics and their magnetospheric implications"
On July 7, 2021, a groundbreaking scientific paper on Jupiter's X-ray auroral emissions was published on Science Advances.
Yao Zhonghua (IGG, CAS/UCAS, China) and William Dunn (UCL, UK/Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, USA), members of the ISSI-BJ International Team on the morphology of auroras at Earth and giant planets, together with a team of outstanding researchers, have solved the puzzle that has haunted scientists for the past 40 years.
