<p>Juno's highly eccentric polar orbit was designed to provide the first measurements at low altitudes over the poles to explore Jupiter’s polar magnetosphere and auroras.  Orbit precession moves the initially equatorial perijove to higher northern latitudes at a rate of about one degree per orbit.  One result of the precession is that Juno crosses the equator at decreasing radial distances during the inbound portion of the orbit. Recently, Juno has crossed the magnetic equator at distances of 10 Jovian radii (R<sub>J</sub>) and less.  Voyager and Galileo observations have shown the magnetic equator inside of 10 R<sub>J</sub> to be the site of numerous plasma wave phenomena including whistler-mode hiss, chorus, electron cyclotron harmonics and upper hybrid bands.  In addition, this is the location of the plasma sheet at the outer edge of the Io and Europa torii.  The Juno orbit, with its near-polar inclination carries the spacecraft through this intriguing region to higher latitudes.  This paper examines the evolution of whistler-mode chorus and hiss as well as electron cyclotron waves from the magnetic equator to higher latitudes.  While there are now statistical studies of electromagnetic waves at intermediate latitudes based on Galileo and Juno observations, this paper is designed to show details of these wave phenomena utilizing the Juno Waves instrument’s burst mode for high resolution.  Each of these wave phenomena has the potential to interact with the electrons in the inner magnetosphere and cause pitch-angle scattering and/or acceleration, so they are important in the flow of mass and energy through the Jovian system.</p>

In this paper the effect of externally injected beam of cold electrons on electromagnetic electron-cyclotron (EMEC) waves in the magnetosphere has been discussed. The investigation is conducted using the methodology of characteristic solution and considering kappa distribution function in the presence of AC field.  The objective of present study is to examine the variation in growth rate of EMEC waves when temperature anisotropy, magnitude of AC field and number density of energetic particles varies. It is inferred that EMEC waves grow more significantly when propagating oblique to magnetic field direction rather than parallel to magnetic field direction. Also that as the temperature anisotropy and number density of background plasma increases, growth rate of EMEC waves increases.
