(2000). The very high frequency — wavelengths shorter than 3 centimeters (1.2 inches) — or thermal radiation, indicates a temperature of about -140 degrees Celsius (-255 Fahrenheit) for Jupiter. A superposed telescopic image of Jupiter to scale shows the size and orientation of the belts relative to the planet.
...False-color image of aurorae on the north pole of JupiterThe north and south poles of the Earth's dipole should not be confused with Earth's The magnetic moment is proportional to the product of the equatorial field strength and cube of Jupiter's radius, which is 11 times larger than that of the Earth.The direct current in the Jovian magnetosphere is not to be confused with the The non-Io-DAM is much weaker than the Io-DAM, and is the high-frequency tail of the HOM emissions.A Lorentz resonance is one that exists between a particle's orbital speed and the rotation period of a planet's magnetosphere.

The Suomi NPP satellite is providing visible imagery and the Aqua satellite is providing temperature information on the tropical system. This suggests the Van Allen belts confine a significant flux of antiprotons produced by the interaction of the Earth's upper atmosphere with cosmic rays.

The bright bands in the center of the image are the main ring of Jupiter's ring system.
Radio noise from Jupiter gave the first indication that the planet has a large magnetic field.Some of Jupiter's decametric radiation, with wavelengths longer than 3 meters (10 feet), appears to be related to the Jovian satellite Io.
Jupiter is surrounded by an enormous magnetic field called the magnetosphere, which has a million times the volume of Earth's magnetosphere.
"Auroral emissions of the giant planets" (PDF). In 2011, a study confirmed earlier speculation that the Van Allen belt could confine antiparticles.
Earth has similar - albeit weaker - rings of radiation called the Van Allen Belts. Unlike Earth's aurorae, which are transient and only occur at times of heightened solar activity, Jupiter's aurorae are permanent, though their intensity varies from day to day. Director, NASA Planetary Science Division: The radiation belts are rotating around Jupiter faster than Europa does. When I read some discussion about exploration of Jupiter moons, or possibility of life there, a common argument is high dose of radiation in Jupiter's radiation belt (several orders of magnitude higher than outside Jupiter's magnetosphere).
They have roughly stable shapes and locations,Spots were found to correspond to the Galilean moons: Io, Bright arcs and spots sporadically appear within the main ovals. Electrons moving parallel to the magnetic field precipitate into the atmosphere while those with a sufficient perpendicular velocity are reflected by the Jupiter's radio and particle emissions are strongly modulated by its rotation, which makes the planet somewhat similar to a In addition to relatively long-wavelength radiation, Jupiter also emits Jupiter's magnetosphere ejects streams of high-energy electrons and ions (energy up to tens Jupiter's extensive magnetosphere envelops its ring system and the orbits of all four Close to Jupiter, the planet's rings and small moons absorb high-energy particles (energy above 10 keV) from the radiation belts.All Galilean moons have thin atmospheres with surface pressures in the range 0.01–1 The interaction of the Jovian magnetosphere with Ganymede, which has an intrinsic magnetic moment, differs from its interaction with the non-magnetized moons.Charged particles have a considerable influence on the surface properties of Galilean moons. Scientists have developed a new model that predicted seven out of nine of the Sun’s biggest recent flares.
Image of Jupiter's radiation belts mapped from 13,800-megahertz radio emission measured by the U.S. Cassini orbiter in January 2001 during its flyby of the planet.
Surrounding Jupiter is a belt of radiation and charged particles - protons, electrons, and ions – like an electric doughnut.
