One of the focal points of interest in Jovian magnetospheric physics is the transport of energy and particles into the inner region. While an explosive energy release event in the midmagnetosphere is manifested as an aurora transient, its connection to the inner part has not been investigated due to sparsity of observations.

Here we take the advantage of long-term and quasi-continuous simultaneous monitoring of the polar aurora and the Io Plasma Torus (IPT) located in the inner magnetosphere by Extreme Ultraviolet Spectroscope for Exospheric Dynamics/Hisaki. Studies on temporal characteristics over hours enable us to see slow (~10 h) coupling between the middle and inner magnetosphere as well as to quantify the temperature of hot electrons in the IPT. We derive parameters that characterize the strong particle acceleration process. [Yoshikawa et al., 2016, GRL]
