Revealing the Mysteries of Venus: The DAVINCI Mission
James B. Garvin, Stephanie A. Getty, Giada N. Arney +36
The Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging (DAVINCI) mission described herein has been selected for flight to Venus as part of the NASA Discover…
Phase Fresnel Lens Development for X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy
John Krizmanic, Gerald Skinner, Zaven Arzoumanian +8
In principle, diffractive optics, particularly Phase Fresnel Lenses (PFLs), offer the ability to construct large, diffraction-limited, and highly efficient X-ray/-ray telescopes…
Seasonal changes in the middle atmosphere of Titan from Cassini/CIRS observations: temperature and trace species abundance profiles from 2004 to 2017
Christophe Mathé, Sandrine Vinatier, Bruno Bézard +6
The Cassini/Composite InfraRed Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument has been observing the middle atmosphere of Titan over almost half a Saturnian year. We used the CIRS dataset processe…
A Hexagon in Saturn's Northern Stratosphere Surrounding the Emerging Summertime Polar Vortex
L. N. Fletcher, G. S. Orton, J. A. Sinclair +13
Saturn's polar stratosphere exhibits the seasonal growth and dissipation of broad, warm, vortices poleward of latitude, which are strongest in the summer and absent…
Disruption of Saturn's Quasi-Periodic Equatorial Oscillation by the Great Northern Storm
Leigh N. Fletcher, Sandrine Guerlet, Glenn S. Orton +7
Observations of planets throughout our Solar System have revealed that the Earth is not alone in possessing natural, inter-annual atmospheric cycles. The equatorial middle atmosphe…
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…
Seasonal Evolution of Saturn's Polar Temperatures and Composition
Leigh N. Fletcher, P. G. J. Irwin, J. A. Sinclair +7
The seasonal evolution of Saturn's polar atmospheric temperatures and hydrocarbon composition is derived from a decade of Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) 7-16 m t…
The ODINUS Mission Concept - The Scientific Case for a Mission to the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft to Unveil the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
The purpose of this document is to discuss the scientific case of a space mission to the ice giants Uranus and Neptune and their satellite systems and its relevance to advance our…
The Comparative Exploration of the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft: Unveiling the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
In the course of the selection of the scientific themes for the second and third L-class missions of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program of the European Space Agency, the explorati…
Detection of Propene in Titan's Stratosphere
Conor A. Nixon, Donald E. Jennings, Bruno Bezard +9
The Voyager 1 flyby of Titan in 1980 gave a first glimpse of the chemical complexity of Titan's atmosphere, detecting many new molecules with the infrared spectrometer (IRIS). Thes…
