Jovian Planets and Auroral Activity
Description
A Jovian planet you are observing displays aurora activity. An Earth-like planet without an atmosphere in the same orbit as this Jovian planet would have a surface temperature between 0 and 100 C. Discuss the implications of these aurora observations particularly from the perspective of the planetary interior structure. Given the Jovian nature of this planet, what other observable characteristics (e.g. satellites, rings, etc.) might you see?
