U22B:
The New Jupiter as Revealed by Juno


Note: Abstract submissions to Union sessions are by invitation only.


Session ID#: 49705

Session Description:
NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter launched in 2011 and arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016.  The results of Juno have revolutionized our understanding of Jupiter and giant planets throughout our solar system and beyond.   As the largest and most massive planet in our solar system, Jupiter offers unique insight in the history of our solar system and how planetary systems in general form and evolve.  Juno's multidisciplinary study of Jupiter constrains the interior structure and atmospheric composition, investigates Jupiter's deep atmospheric dynamics, and provides the first in-situ investigation of Jupiter's polar magnetosphere and aurorae.  This session provides key results from Juno's discoveries as well as context with respect to current theory and models of Jupiter's formation and evolution.
