Cloud and ammonia vertical profiles in the equatorial atmosphere of Jupiter determined from visible to near-IR observations made by VLT/MUSE, Cassini/VIMS, IRTF/SpeX and Juno/JIRAM

Patrick G. J. Irwin, Asier Anguiano-Arteaga, Michelle Colantoni +8

We present a combined cloud/ammonia model for Jupiter's equatorial atmosphere from 0.1 to 10 bar, consistent with observations made at a range of observation geometries from 0.35 t…

Lava Lakes on Io: crust age and implications for thermal output

Alessandro Mura, Rosaly M. C. Lopes, Federico Tosi +12

Recent observations by the JIRAM instrument onboard NASA's Juno mission have confirmed that many of Io's volcanic hot spots are active lava lakes, characterized by a colder central…

No evidence of magma ocean on Io based on Juno/JIRAM data

Federico Tosi, Alessandro Mura, Francesca Zambon

A recent paper (ref. 1) used infrared images of Io acquired by the Juno/JIRAM instrument to derive a latitudinal dependence of the spectral radiance and conclude that such latitudi…

Widespread occurrence of lava lakes on Io observed from Juno

Alessandro Mura, Federico Tosi, Francesca Zambon +13

We report recent observations of lava lakes within patera on Io made by the JIRAM imager/spectrometer on board the Juno spacecraft, taken during close observation occurred in the e…

Observations of Loki Patera by Juno during close flybys

Alessandro Mura, JIRAM-Io team

We used data from the Juno spacecraft to investigate both the spatial and temporal properties of Loki Patera on Io, acquired in two infrared bands between December 2022 and April 2…

A patchy CO exosphere on Ganymede revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope

Dominique Bockelée-Morvan, Olivier Poch, Françcois Leblanc +25

Jupiter's icy moon Ganymede has a tenuous exosphere produced by sputtering and possibly sublimation of water ice. To date, only atomic hydrogen and oxygen have been directly detect…

Mass supply from Io to Jupiter's magnetosphere

L. Roth, A. Blöcker, K. de Kleer +24

Since the Voyager mission flybys in 1979, we have known the moon Io to be both volcanically active and the main source of plasma in the vast magnetosphere of Jupiter. Material lost…

Jupiter's Equatorial Plumes and Hot Spots: Spectral Mapping from Gemini/TEXES and Juno/MWR

L. N. Fletcher, G. S. Orton, T. K. Greathouse +13

We present multi-wavelength measurements of the thermal, chemical, and cloud contrasts associated with the visibly dark formations (also known as 5-m hot spots) and intervening…

The contribution of the ARIEL space mission to the study of planetary formation

D. Turrini, Y. Miguel, T. Zingales +13

The study of extrasolar planets and of the Solar System provides complementary pieces of the mosaic represented by the process of planetary formation. Exoplanets are essential to f…
