Analysis of Juno measurements of the magnetic field during the first 10 orbits covering the dawn to pre-dawn sector of the magnetosphere (∼03:30-06:00 local time) has allowed us to determine optimal parameters of the magnetodisc using the paraboloid magnetospheric magnetic field model, which employs analytic expressions for the magnetospheric current systems. Specifically, within the model we determine the size of the Jovian magnetodisc and the magnetic field strength at its outer edge.

Work at the Federal State Budget Educational Institution of Higher Education M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP MSU), was partially supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation (grant RFMEFI61617X0084). Work at the University of Leicester was supported by STFC grant ST/N000749/1. The Juno magnetometer data were obtained from the Planetary Data System (PDS). We are grateful to the Juno team for making the magnetic field data available (FGM instrument scientist John E. P. Connerney; principal investigator of Juno mission Scott J. Bolton).
