A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo
F. Braga-Ribas, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +61
Until now, rings have been detected in the Solar System exclusively around the four giant planets. Here we report the discovery of the first minor-body ring system around the Centa…
The albedo-color diversity of transneptunian objects
Pedro Lacerda, Sonia Fornasier, Emmanuel Lellouch +9
We analyze albedo data obtained using the Herschel Space Observatory that reveal the existence of two distinct types of surface among midsized transneptunian objects. A color-albed…
Titan's atmosphere as observed by Cassini/VIMS solar occultations: CH, CO and evidence for CH absorption
L. Maltagliati, B. Bézard, S. Vinatier +6
We present an analysis of the VIMS solar occultations dataset, which allows us to extract vertically resolved information on the characteristics of Titan's atmosphere between 100-7…
Scientific rationale of Saturn's in situ exploration
O. Mousis, L. N. Fletcher, J. -P. Lebreton +47
Remote sensing observations meet some limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. A remarkable example of the superior…
Herschel/PACS spectroscopy of trace gases of the stratosphere of Titan
Miriam Rengel, Hideo Sagawa, Paul Hartogh +7
Aims: We investigate the composition of Titan's stratosphere from new medium-resolution far-infrared observations performed with the full range of Herschel's Photodetector Array Ca…
Exploring the spatial, temporal, and vertical distribution of methane in Pluto's atmosphere
E. Lellouch, C. de Bergh, B. Sicardy +3
High-resolution spectra of Pluto in the 1.66 um region, recorded with the VLT/CRIRES instrument in 2008 (2 spectra) and 2012 (5 spectra), are analyzed to constrain the spatial and…
