Spacecraft VLBI tracking to enhance stellar occultations astrometry of planetary satellites
M. Fayolle, V. Lainey, D. Dirkx +3
Stellar occultations currently provide the most accurate ground-based measurements of the positions of natural satellites (down to a few kilometres for the Galilean moons). However…
Highly depleted alkali metals in Jupiter's deep atmosphere
Ananyo Bhattacharya, Cheng Li, Sushil K. Atreya +12
Water and ammonia vapors are known to be the major sources of spectral absorption at pressure levels observed by the microwave radiometer (MWR) on Juno. However, the brightness tem…
Jupiter's interior from Juno: Equation-of-state uncertainties and dilute core extent
S. Howard, T. Guillot, M. Bazot +10
The Juno mission has provided measurements of Jupiter s gravity field with an outstanding level of accuracy, leading to better constraints on the interior of the planet. Improving…
Effect of a magnetosphere compression on Jovian radio emissions: in situ case study using Juno data
C. K. Louis, C. M. Jackman, G. Hospodarsky +13
During its 53-day polar orbit around Jupiter, Juno often crosses the boundaries of the Jovian magnetosphere (namely the magnetopause and bow shock). From the boundary locations, th…
Planetary Exploration Horizon 2061 Report, Chapter 4: From planetary exploration goals to technology requirements
Jérémie Lasue, Pierre Bousquet, Michel Blanc +19
This chapter reviews for each province and destination of the Solar System the representative space missions that will have to be designed and implemented by 2061 to address the si…
Observation of Turbulent Magnetohydrodynamic Cascade in the Jovian Magnetosheath
N. Andrés, R. Bandyopadhyay, D. J. McComas +6
We present the first estimation of the energy cascade rate in Jupiter's magnetosheath (MS). We use in-situ observations from the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment (JADE) and…
Alternating north-south brightness ratio of Ganymede's auroral ovals: Hubble Space Telescope observations around the Juno PJ34 flyby
Joachim Saur, Stefan Duling, Alexandre Wennmacher +17
We report results of Hubble Space Telescope observations from Ganymede's orbitally trailing side which were taken around the flyby of the Juno spacecraft on June 7, 2021. We find t…
Jupiter's Temperature Structure: A Reassessment of the Voyager Radio Occultation Measurements
Pranika Gupta, Sushil K. Atreya, Paul G. Steffes +12
The thermal structure of planetary atmospheres is an essential input for predicting and retrieving the distribution of gases and aerosols, as well as the bulk chemical abundances.…
Jupiter's inhomogeneous envelope
Y. Miguel, M. Bazot, T. Guillot +13
While Jupiter's massive gas envelope consists mainly of hydrogen and helium, the key to understanding Jupiter's formation and evolution lies in the distribution of the remaining (h…
Revelations on Jupiter's Formation, Evolution and Interior: Challenges from Juno Results
Ravit Helled, David J. Stevenson, Jonathan I. Lunine +7
The Juno mission has revolutionized and challenged our understanding of Jupiter. As Juno transitioned to its extended mission, we review the major findings of Jupiter's internal st…
Theory of Figures to the 7th order and the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn
N. Nettelmann, N. Movshovitz, D. Ni +6
Interior modeling of Jupiter and Saturn has advanced to a state where thousands of models are generated that cover the uncertainty space of many parameters. This approach demands a…
Jupiter's Temperate Belt/Zone Contrasts Revealed at Depth by Juno Microwave Observations
L. N. Fletcher, F. A. Oyafuso, M. Allison +12
Juno Microwave Radiometer (MWR) observations of Jupiter's mid-latitudes reveal a strong correlation between brightness temperature contrasts and zonal winds, confirming that the ba…
Constraints on the latitudinal profile of Jupiter's deep jets
E. Galanti, Y. Kaspi, K. Duer +7
The observed zonal winds at Jupiter's cloud tops have been shown to be closely linked to the asymmetric part of the planet's measured gravity field. However, other measurements sug…
Lightning generation in moist convective clouds and constraints on the water abundance in Jupiter
Yury S. Aglyamov, Jonathan Lunine, Heidi N. Becker +7
Recent Juno observations have greatly extended the temporal and spatial coverage of lightning detection on Jupiter. We use these data to constrain a model of moist convection and l…
Storms and the Depletion of Ammonia in Jupiter: II. Explaining the Juno Observations
Tristan Guillot, Cheng Li, Scott Bolton +8
Observations of Jupiter's deep atmosphere by the Juno spacecraft have revealed several puzzling facts: The concentration of ammonia is variable down to pressures of tens of bars, a…
The water abundance in Jupiter's equatorial zone
Cheng Li, Andrew Ingersoll, Scott Bolton +20
Oxygen is the most common element after hydrogen and helium in Jupiter's atmosphere, and may have been the primary condensable (as water ice) in the protoplanetary disk. Prior to t…
Keys of a Mission to Uranus or Neptune, the Closest Ice Giants
Tristan Guillot, Jonathan Fortney, Emily Rauscher +26
Uranus and Neptune are the archetypes of "ice giants", a class of planets that may be among the most common in the Galaxy. They hold the keys to understand the atmospheric dynamics…
Possible Transient Luminous Events observed in Jupiter's upper atmosphere
