Temporal Variability of Titan's Middle-Atmospheric Zonal Winds from Southern Fall to Late Winter (2016-2023)
Martin A. Cordiner, Yuan Lian, Juan M. Lora +10
Previous ALMA observations have revealed unexpectedly strong and rapid variations in Titan's high-altitude equatorial zonal winds, which present a challenge to our understanding of…
Zonal winds in Titan's middle atmosphere from a stellar occultation observed with Keck adaptive optics
Theresa C. Marlin, Eliot F. Young, Katherine de Kleer +9
We present spatially resolved Keck/NIRC2 images of a stellar occultation by Titan on September 5, 2022 and compare them to predictions from concurrent ALMA observations and a suite…
The Roman Space Telescope as a Planetary Defense Asset
Bryan J. Holler, Richard G. Cosentino, William C. Schultz +5
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, slated to launch in October 2026, will serve a critical role in the characterization and threat assessment of near-Earth Objects (NEOs), t…
Observations of Titan's Stratosphere During Northern Summer: Temperatures, CH3CN and CH3D Abundances
Alexander E. Thelen, Conor A. Nixon, Martin A. Cordiner +11
Titan's atmospheric composition and dynamical state have previously been studied over numerous epochs by both ground- and space-based facilities. However, stratospheric measurement…
Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) Science: Planetary and Cometary Atmospheres
Martin A. Cordiner, Alexander E. Thelen, Thibault Cavalié +26
The study of planets and small bodies within our Solar System is fundamental for understanding the formation and evolution the Earth and other planets. Compositional and meteorolog…
Variability in Titan's Mesospheric HCN and Temperature Structure as Observed by ALMA
A. E. Thelen, C. A. Nixon, R. Cosentino +5
The temperature structure of Titan's upper atmosphere exhibits large variability resulting from numerous spatially and temporally irregular external energy sources, seasonal change…
Atmospheric Science Questions for a Uranian Probe
Emma K. Dahl, Naomi Rowe-Gurney, Glenn S. Orton +5
The Ice Giants represent a unique and relatively poorly characterized class of planets that have been largely unexplored since the brief Voyager 2 flyby in the late 1980's. Uranus…
Phosphine in the Venusian Atmosphere: A Strict Upper Limit from SOFIA GREAT Observations
M. A. Cordiner, G. L. Villanueva, H. Wiesemeyer +13
The presence of phosphine (PH) in the atmosphere of Venus was reported by Greaves et al. (2021a), based on observations of the J=1-0 transition at 267 GHz using ground-based, m…
The early afterglow of GRB 190829A
S. Dichiara, E. Troja, V. Lipunov +19
GRB 190829A at z=0.0785 is the fourth closest long GRB ever detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory, and the third confirmed case with a very high energy component. We prese…
Mapping the zonal winds of Jupiter's stratospheric equatorial oscillation
B. Benmahi, T. Cavalié, T. K. Greathouse +5
Since the 1950s, quasi-periodic oscillations have been studied in the terrestrial equatorial stratosphere. Other planets of the solar system present (or are expected to present) su…
Detection of Dynamical Instability in Titan's Thermospheric Jet
M. A. Cordiner, E. Garcia-Berrios, R. G. Cosentino +5
Similar to Earth, Saturn's largest moon, Titan, possesses a system of high-altitude zonal winds (or jets) that encircle the globe. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter…
Ice Giant Atmospheric Science
Emma K. Dahl, Shawn Brueshaber, Richard Cosentino +24
This white paper, written in support of NASA's 2023-2032 Planetary Decadal Survey, outlines 10 major questions that focus on the origin, evolution, and current processes that shape…
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…
Vertically-resolved observations of Jupiter's quasi-quadrennial oscillation from 2012 to 2019
Rohini S Giles, Thomas K Greathouse, Richard G Cosentino +2
Over the last eight years, a rich dataset of mid-infrared CH4 observations from the TEXES instrument at IRTF has been used to characterize the thermal evolution of Jupiter's strato…
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…
A New, Long-Lived, Jupiter Mesoscale Wave Observed at Visible Wavelengths
Amy A. Simon, Ricardo Hueso, Peio Inurrigarro +12
Small-scale waves were observed along the boundary between Jupiter's North Equatorial Belt and North Tropical Zone, ~16.5° N planetographic latitude in Hubble Space Telescope data…
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…
Atmospheric waves and dynamics beneath Jupiter's clouds from radiowavelength observations
