AB: Observations from both the Galileo and Voyager spacecraft show the influence of the four Jovian satellites on the radio emission generated in the Jovian magnetosphere. In an attempt to quantify the significance of these correlations, we have completed a statistical analysis of Jupiter's emission intensity and occurrence probability with all four Galilean satellites. We analyzed the peak correlations of satellite phase versus Jovian longitude, and present the significance as standard deviations (σ) above the non-Io-A background. Our analysis shows peaks of significance of at least 2σ for all four Galilean satellites. We hope to present new data from the Cassini spacecraft flyby at Jupiter to confirm these results in different frequency bands.
