Offer Description
Project description
Jupiter moon Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar System. It is the main source of material for Jupiter's vast magnetosphere, but the processes for the material transport from Io to the environment are not fully understood and the putative variability of Io's mass loss is puzzling.
In the project, the student will analyze observations of Io’s atmosphere and surface taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope. In addition, we will study the plasma environment through measurements near Io by the NASA Juno spacecraft. In combination with modelling, the project will address the questions of the mass loss from Io and its atmosphere to Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
Third-cycle subject: Electrical engineering
Supervision: Associate Prof. Lorenz Roth
