Abstract

The impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter has created a variety of magnetospheric plasmas which were detected by their electromagnetic emissions. By means of the Dessler-Parker-Sckopke relation we estimate the perturbation of Jupiter’s magnetic field. It appears that the produced plasma may explain the observed decrease of UV lines in Io’s torus.
