The asymmetry observed in the H-Lyα profiles measured near the Jovian equatorial limbs by the STIS/HST spectrograph is interpreted as due to H atoms propagating in the upper Jovian atmosphere with velocities ~ 80 km/s relative to Jupiter’s rotation. A qualitative scenario is suggested to correlate these energetic H atoms to energetic neutral particles recently detected by Cassini at higher altitudes.
