The long-term steady motion of Saturn's Hexagon and the stability of its enclosed jet-stream under seasonal changes
A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del Río-Gaztelurrutia, R. Hueso +15
We investigate the long-term motion of Saturn's North-Pole Hexagon and the structure of its associated eastward jet, using Cassini ISS and ground-based images from 2008 to 2014. We…
Amateur Observers Witness the Return of Venus' Cloud Discontinuity
Kardasis E., Peralta J., Maravelias G. +13
Firstly identified in images from JAXA's orbiter Akatsuki, the cloud discontinuity of Venus is a planetary-scale phenomenon known to be recurrent since, at least, the 1980s. Interp…
Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations
J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234
A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…
A Long-lived Sharp Disruption on the Lower Clouds of Venus
J. Peralta, T. Navarro, C. W. Vun +19
Planetary-scale waves are thought to play a role in powering the yet-unexplained atmospheric superrotation of Venus. Puzzlingly, while Kelvin, Rossby and stationary waves manifest…
Morphology and dynamics of Venus's middle clouds with Akatsuki/IR1
J. Peralta, N. Iwagami, Sánchez-Lavega +8
The Venusian atmosphere is covered by clouds with super-rotating winds whose accelerating mechanism is still not well understood. The fastest winds, occurring at the cloud tops ($\…
Pluto's lower atmosphere and pressure evolution from ground-based stellar occultations, 1988-2016
E. Meza, B. Sicardy, M. Assafin +167
Context. Pluto's tenuous nitrogen (N2) atmosphere undergoes strong seasonal effects due to high obliquity and orbital eccentricity, and has been recently (July 2015) observed by th…
Small impacts on the giant planet Jupiter
R. Hueso, M. Delcroix, A. Sánchez-Lavega +8
Video observations of Jupiter obtained by amateur astronomers over the past eight years have shown five flashes of light of 1-2 s. The first three of these events occurred on 3 Jun…
Size and shape of Chariklo from multi-epoch stellar occultations
R Leiva, B Sicardy, J I B Camargo +28
We use data from five stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2016 to constrain Chariklo's size and shape, and the ring reflectivity. We consider four possible models for Ch…
The structure of Chariklo's rings from stellar occultations
D. Bérard, B. Sicardy, J. I. B. Camargo +79
Two narrow and dense rings (called C1R and C2R) were discovered around the Centaur object (10199) Chariklo during a stellar occultation observed on 2013 June 3. Following this disc…
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy
O. Mousis, R. Hueso, J. -P. Beaulieu +57
Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy. Here we review the different domains of t…
