Abstract
The properties of cyclotron radiation from bunches of electrons trapped in a Jovian exosphere are discussed. It is shown that, if the polar magnetic field intensity is 15 gauss and the magnetic axis is inclined 10� to the rotation axis, the calculated properties agree with those observed for the decametric radiation providing Jupiter is surrounded by an extensive exosphere. The electron density of the exosphere varies mainly as the magnetic field intensity and at l'5Rj is equal to 103/cm3.
