The atmospheric vertical structure of Uranus and Neptune from thermochemical models: the impact of model assumptions

Thomas Douçot, Ravit Helled, Daniel Kitzmann +2

The composition and temperature-pressure profile of the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune are not well-determined. As observational data are limited, we often rely on chemical equi…

Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Key Targets of Opportunity on Gas and Ice Giants and their satellites

Ricardo Hueso, Leigh N. Fletcher, Damya Souami +15

The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will transform our knowledge of the outer planets and their satellite systems; however the visibility of unique targets of opportunity with high…

Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40m Telescope and the Science at Stake: from Interstellar Visitors to Planetary Defence

J. de León, N. Pinilla-Alonso, P. Tanga +49

Small Solar system Objects (SSOs) preserve the physical, chemical, and dynamical signatures of the Sun's protoplanetary disk. Upcoming surveys will discover vast numbers of new obj…

The Polar Stratosphere of Jupiter

Vincent Hue, Thibault Cavalié, James A. Sinclair +13

Observations of the Jovian upper atmosphere at high latitudes in the UV, IR and mm/sub-mm all indicate that the chemical distributions and thermal structure are broadly influenced…

Temperature and composition disturbances in the southern auroral region of Jupiter revealed by JWST/MIRI

Pablo Rodríguez-Ovalle, Thierry Fouchet, Sandrine Guerlet +17

Jupiters south polar region was observed by JWST Mid Infrared Instrument in December 2022. We used the Medium Resolution Spectrometer mode to provide new information about Jupiters…

Recipes for forming a carbon-rich giant planet

Olivier Mousis, Thibault Cavalié, Jonathan I. Lunine +9

The exploration of carbon-to-oxygen ratios has yielded intriguing insights into the composition of close-in giant exoplanets, giving rise to a distinct classification: carbon-rich…

In situ Exploration of the Giant Planets

Olivier Mousis, David H. Atkinson, Richard Ambrosi +27

Remote sensing observations suffer significant limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. This impacts our knowledge…

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…

The Hera Saturn Entry Probe Mission

O. Mousis, D. H. Atkinson, T. Spilker +41

The Hera Saturn entry probe mission is proposed as an M--class mission led by ESA with a contribution from NASA. It consists of one atmospheric probe to be sent into the atmosphere…
