Evidence of a Polar Cyclone on Uranus from VLA Observations

Alex Akins, Mark Hofstadter, Bryan Butler +4

We present observations of Uranus in northern spring with the VLA from 0.7 cm to 5 cm. These observations reveal details in thermal emission from Uranus' north pole at 10s of bars,…

Tropospheric Composition and Circulation of Uranus with ALMA and the VLA

Edward M. Molter, Imke de Pater, Statia Luszcz-Cook +4

We present ALMA and VLA spatial maps of the Uranian atmosphere taken between 2015 and 2018 at wavelengths from 1.3 mm to 10 cm, probing pressures from 1 to 50 bar at sp…

No evidence of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus by independent analyses

Geronimo Villanueva, Martin Cordiner, Patrick Irwin +24

The detection of phosphine (PH3) in the atmosphere of Venus has been recently reported based on millimeter-wave radio observations (Greaves et al. 2020), and its re-analyses (Greav…

Io's Volcanic Activity from Time Domain Adaptive Optics Observations: 2013-2018

Katherine de Kleer, Imke de Pater, Edward M. Molter +11

We present measurements of the near-infrared brightness of Io's hot spots derived from 2-5 micron imaging with adaptive optics on the Keck and Gemini N telescopes. The data were ob…

Thermal Emission from the Uranian Ring System

Edward M. Molter, Imke de Pater, Michael T. Roman +1

The narrow main rings of Uranus are composed of almost exclusively centimeter- to meter-sized particles, with a very small or nonexistent dust component; however, the filling facto…

Analysis of Neptune's 2017 Bright Equatorial Storm

Edward Molter, Imke de Pater, Statia Luszcz-Cook +22

We report the discovery of a large (8500 km diameter) infrared-bright storm at Neptune's equator in June 2017. We tracked the storm over a period of 7 months with high-cadenc…
