High Spatial and Spectral Resolution Observations of the Forbidden 1.707 micron Rovibronic SO Emissions on Io: Evidence for Widespread Stealth Volcanism
Imke de Pater, Katherine de Kleer, Mate Adamkovics
We present observations obtained with the 10-m Keck telescopes of the forbidden SO rovibronic transition at 1.707 micron on Io while in eclipse. We show its spatial distribution at…
Modeling transmission windows in Titan's lower troposphere: Implications for infrared spectrometers aboard future aerial and surface missions
Paul Corlies, George D. McDonald, Alexander G. Hayes +10
From orbit, the visibility of Titan's surface is limited to a handful of narrow spectral windows in the near-infrared (near-IR), primarily from the absorption of methane gas. This…
First ALMA Millimeter Wavelength Maps of Jupiter, with a Multi-Wavelength Study of Convection
Imke de Pater, R. J. Sault, Chris Moeckel +15
We obtained the first maps of Jupiter at 1-3 mm wavelength with the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) on 3-5 January 2017, just days after an energetic eruption a…
The Gas Composition and Deep Cloud Structure of Jupiter's Great Red Spot
Gordon L. Bjoraker, Michael H. Wong, Imke de Pater +3
We have obtained high-resolution spectra of Jupiter's Great Red Spot (GRS) between 4.6 and 5.4 microns using telescopes on Mauna Kea in order to derive gas abundances and to constr…
Retrieving Neptune's aerosol properties from Keck OSIRIS observations. I. Dark regions
S. H. Luszcz-Cook, K. de Kleer, I. de Pater +2
We present and analyze three-dimensional data cubes of Neptune from the OSIRIS integral-field spectrograph on the 10-m Keck telescope, from July 2009. These data have a spatial res…
The near-surface methane humidity on Titan
Juan M. Lora, Mate Adamkovics
We retrieve vertical and meridional variations of methane mole fraction in Titan's lower troposphere by re-analyzing near-infrared ground-based observations from 17 July 2014 UT (A…
Titan Science with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
Conor A. Nixon, Richard K. Achterberg, Mate Adamkovics +12
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scheduled for launch in 2018, is the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) but with a significantly larger aperture (6.5 m) and advan…
The changing rotational excitation of C_3 in comet 9P/Tempel 1 during Deep Impact
Máté Ádámkovics, Imke de Pater, Hy Spinrad
The 4050Å band of C was observed with Keck/HIRES echelle spectrometer during the {\em Deep Impact} encounter. We perform a 2-dimensional analysis of the exposures in order to s…
Discovery of fog at the south pole of Titan
M. E. Brown, A. L. Smith, C. Chen +1
While Saturn's moon Titan appears to support an active methane hydrological cycle, no direct evidence for surface-atmosphere exchange has yet appeared. It is possible that the iden…
Component-resolved Near-infrared Spectra of the (22) Kalliope System
Conor Laver, Imke de Pater, Franck Marchis +2
We observed (22) Kalliope and its companion Linus with the integral-field spectrograph OSIRIS, which is coupled to the adaptive optics system at the W.M. Keck II telescope on March…
