Properties of a Martian local dust storm in Atlantis Chaos from OMEGA/MEX data
F. Oliva, A. Geminale, E. D'Aversa +5
In this study we present the analysis of the dust properties of a local storm imaged in the Atlantis Chaos region on Mars by the OMEGA imaging spectrometer on March 2nd 2005. We us…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory
G. Tinetti, J. P. Beaulieu, T. Henning +131
A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our Solar System in context…
Structure of Jupiter's High-Latitude Storms: Folded Filamentary Regions Revealed by Juno
L. N. Fletcher, Z. Zhang, S. Brown +17
Sprawling, turbulent cloud formations dominate the meteorology of Jupiter's mid-to-high latitudes, known as Folded Filamentary Regions (FFRs). A multi-wavelength characterisation b…
Jupiter's Equatorial Plumes and Hot Spots: Spectral Mapping from Gemini/TEXES and Juno/MWR
L. N. Fletcher, G. S. Orton, T. K. Greathouse +13
We present multi-wavelength measurements of the thermal, chemical, and cloud contrasts associated with the visibly dark formations (also known as 5-m hot spots) and intervening…
Global maps of Venus nightside mean infrared thermal emissions obtained by VIRTIS on Venus Express
A. Cardesin-Moinelo, G. Piccioni, A. Migliorini +6
One of the striking features about Venus atmosphere is its temporal variability and dynamics, with a chaotic polar vortex, large-scale atmospheric waves, sheared features, and vari…
