abstract:
The JUNO mission, launched on August 2011 with the goal of investigating the origin and
evolution of Jupiter, reached Jupiter in July 2016. The months preceding the JUNO orbit insertion have
been crucial for all the instrument teams to check the status and working abilities of the respective experiments.
JIRAM (Jupiter Infrared Auroral Mapper), with its imager and slit spectrometer operating over
the 2-5 ?m spectral range will attempt to reveal the deep atmospheric composition --3 to 7 bars-- in hot
spots, to analyze the infrared auroral emissions of the H3
+ molecules ionized by the Jovian magnetosphere
currents and to detect the morphology and vertical structure of the clouds. Many different processing tools
are in preparation to exploit the incoming JIRAM data. Here some results pertaining to the image quality
optimization and the visualizations that can be obtained from the spectrometer data management are
reported.
