Where Is the Io Plasma Torus? A Comparison of Observations by Juno Radio Occultations to Predictions From Jovian Magnetic Field Models

The Io plasma torus is thought to lie in Jupiter's centrifugal equator, a location that depends on Jupiter's rotation and magnetic field. Yet previous observations and predictions of the location of the Io plasma torus are inconsistent. Here we test the hypothesis that the Io plasma torus...
