Abstract
The impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter has created a variet y of magnetospheric plasmas which were detected by their electromagnet ic emissions. By means of the Dessler-Parker-Sckopke relation we estim ate the perturbation of Jupiter's magnetic field. It appears that the produced plasma may explain the observed decrease of UV lines in Io's torus.
