Spectral determination of the colour and vertical structure of dark spots in Neptune's atmosphere
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Jack Dobinson, Arjuna James. Michael H. Wong +12
Previous observations of dark vortices in Neptune's atmosphere, such as Voyager-2's Great Dark Spot, have been made in only a few, broad-wavelength channels, which has hampered eff…
Jupiter's Mesoscale Waves Observed at 5 m by Ground-Based Observations and Juno JIRAM
L. N. Fletcher, H. Melin, A. Adriani +12
We characterise the origin and evolution of a mesoscale wave pattern in Jupiter's North Equatorial Belt (NEB), detected for the first time at 5 m using a 2016-17 campaign of `lu…
Jupiter's North Equatorial Belt expansion and thermal wave activity ahead of Juno's arrival
L. N. Fletcher, G. S. Orton, J. A. Sinclair +13
The dark colors of Jupiter's North Equatorial Belt (NEB, N) appeared to expand northward into the neighboring zone in 2015, consistent with a 3-5 year cycle of activity…
Scientific rationale for Uranus and Neptune in situ explorations
O. Mousis, D. H. Atkinson, T. Cavalié +53
The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are the least understood class of planets in our solar system but the most frequently observed type of exoplanets. Presumed to have a small rocky…
Spitzer Space Telescope Mid-IR Light Curves of Neptune
J. R. Stauffer, M. S. Marley, J. E. Gizis +9
We have used the Spitzer Space Telescope in February 2016 to obtain high cadence, high signal-to-noise, 17-hour duration light curves of Neptune at 3.6 and 4.5 m. The light curv…
Scientific rationale of Saturn's in situ exploration
O. Mousis, L. N. Fletcher, J. -P. Lebreton +47
Remote sensing observations meet some limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. A remarkable example of the superior…
