Theoretical works on the main auroral UV emission at Jupiter suggest that the dawn region must be more powerful than the dusk one. However, a study made with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has shown the opposite, with a dusk region about 3 times more powerful than the dawn one.

In this thesis, new data obtained with UVS, the UV spectra-imager onboard Juno, are used to create comprehensive brightness maps of the 39 first perijoves of the spacecraft in both hemispheres. These main emission is then isolated on these maps using 4 different methods. Finally, the dusk and dawn regions are found, and the emitted power in these regions are computed. A statistical analyses of the power thus obtained is performed to found if the results from the HST study could be retrieved.

An inspiring anthology of writings by trailblazing women astronomers from around the globeThe Sky Is for Everyone is an internationally diverse collection of autobiographical essays by women who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. Virginia Trimble and David Weintraub vividly describe how, before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry, and how the considerable intellectual skills of women astronomers were still not enough to enable them to pry open doors of opportunity for much of the twentieth century. After decades of difficult struggles, women are closer to equality in astronomy than ever before. Trimble and Weintraub bring together the stories of the tough and determined women who flung the doors wide open. Taking readers from 1960 to today, this triumphant anthology serves as an inspiration to current and future generations of women scientists while giving voice to the history of a transformative era in astronomy.With contributions by Neta Bahcall, Beatriz Barbuy, Ann Merchant Boesgaard, Jocelyn Bell Burnell, Catherine Cesarsky, Poonam Chandra, Xuefei Chen, Yilen Gómez Maqueo Chew, Cathie Clarke, Judith Gamora Cohen, France Anne Córdova, Anne Pyne Cowley, Bożena Czerny, Wendy L.
