“…Here, we focus only on the DPR. This work was undertaken with the Orbyts program, which partners scientists with schools to support school students' involvement in research (Chubb, Joseph, et al., 2018 ; Chubb, Naumenko, et al., 2018 ; Darby‐Lewis et al., 2019 ; Edwards et al., 2020 ; Francis et al., 2020 ; French et al., 2020 ; Grafton‐Waters et al., 2021 ; Holdship et al., 2019 ; McKemmish et al., 2017 , 2018 ; Wibisono et al., 2020 ).…”

We present 14 simultaneous Chandra X‐ray Observatory (CXO)‐Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of Jupiter's Northern X‐ray and ultraviolet (UV) aurorae from 2016 to 2019. Despite the variety of dynamic UV and X‐ray auroral structures, one region is conspicuous by its persistent absence of emission: the dark polar region (DPR). Previous HST observations have shown that very little UV emission is produced by the DPR. We find that the DPR also produces very few X‐ray photons. For all 14 observations, the low level of X‐ray emission from the DPR is consistent (within 2‐standard deviations) with scattered solar emission and/or photons spread by Chandra's Point Spread Function from known X‐ray‐bright regions. We therefore conclude that for these 14 observations the DPR produced no statistically significant detectable X‐ray signature.

“…Since the programme's foundation in 2016, over 150 school students have published research in academic journals through ORBYTS. The topic of this research has varied, from calculating empirical molecular energy levels (McKemmish et al, 2017(McKemmish et al, , 2018Chubb, Joseph, et al, 2018;Chubb, Naumenko, et al, 2018;Darby-Lewis et al, 2019), analysing data of our Sun from the Hinode spacecraft (French et al, 2020) or studying protostellar outflows (Holdship et al, 2019), to counting craters on Mars (Francis et al, 2020), monitoring X-rays from Jupiter's Auroras (Wibisono et al, 2020) and active galactic nuclei (Grafton-Waters et al, 2021).…”

We report photometric follow-up observations of thirteen exoplanets (HATS-1 b, HATS-2 b, HATS-3 b, HAT-P-18 b, HAT-P-27 b, HAT-P-30 b, HAT-P-55 b, KELT-4A b, WASP-25 b, WASP-42 b, WASP-57 b, WASP-61 b and WASP-123 b), as part of the Original Research By Young Twinkle Students (ORBYTS) programme. All these planets are potentially viable targets for atmospheric characterisation and our data, which were taken using the LCOGT network of ground-based telescopes, will be combined with observations from other users of ExoClock to ensure that the transit times of these planets continue to be well-known, far into the future.
