Abstract

One of the main features of Jupiter's magnetosphere is its equatorial magnetodisc, which significantly increases the field strength and size of the magnetosphere. Juno measurements of the magnetic field during the perijove 1 pass have allowed us to determine optimal parameters of the magnetodisc using the paraboloid magnetospheric magnetic field model, which employs analytic expressions for the magnetospheric current systems. Specifically within the model we determine the size of the Jovian magnetodisc and the magnetic field strength at its outer edge.
