这篇博客详细阐述了2003年XMM-Newton对木星的X射线观测结果，发现其低纬带的X射线分布均匀且强度与太阳光驱动过程相符。研究还发现太阳耀斑与木星赤道X射线存在对应关系，支持X射线源于太阳光在行星大气的散射。此外，研究建议利用木星X射线监测太阳不可见半球的活动。

摘要：

[1] During Nov. 26–29, 2003 XMM-Newton observed soft (0.2–2 keV) X-ray emission from Jupiter for 69 hours. The low-latitude X-ray disk emission of Jupiter is observed to be almost uniform in intensity with brightness that is consistent with a solar-photon driven process. The simultaneous light curves of Jovian equatorial X rays and solar X rays (measured by the TIMED/SEE and GOES satellites) show similar day-to-day variability. A large solar X-ray flare occurring on the Jupiter-facing side of the Sun is found to have a corresponding feature in the Jovian X rays. These results support the hypothesis that X-ray emission from Jovian low-latitudes are solar X rays scattered from the planet's upper atmosphere, and suggest that the Sun directly controls the non-auroral X rays from Jupiter's disk. Our study also suggests that Jovian equatorial X rays can be used to monitor the solar X-ray flare activity on the hemisphere of the Sun that is invisible to space weather satellites.
