Abstract Although the Jovian aurorae have been widely considered as due to the interaction of the Io torus with the magnetosphere, rather little had been learnt until the last few years from the remote UV observations as far as generation mechanisms are concerned, due both to the complexity of the observation analysis and the deficiency of the theoretical framework relating them to the primary magnetospheric particles. Recently developed methods, accounting for spectral and/or spatial features of IUE and Voyager FUV/EUV observations are now providing the first insights on the primary particle species, energy and origin. Simultaneously, new modeling of the trapped particle dynamics and of the atmospheric properties are beginning to reveal what are the critical features to look at. This review will include the comparison between UV and IR data, and a brief overview of the capabilities to be expected from the future missions (HST, Galileo, Cassini).
