Jupiter Science Enabled by ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
Leigh N. Fletcher, Thibault Cavalié, Davide Grassi +47
ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) will provide a detailed investigation of the Jovian system in the 2030s, combining a suite of state-of-the-art instruments with an orbital…
Statistical Study on Spatial Distribution and Polarization of Saturn Narrowband Emissions
Siyuan. Wu, Shengyi. Ye, Georg. Fischer +5
The spatial distribution and polarization of Saturn narrowband (NB) emissions have been studied by using Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave Sciences data and goniopolarimetric data obta…
Atmospheric Electricity at the Ice Giants
K. L. Aplin, G. Fischer, T. A. Nordheim +3
Lightning was detected by Voyager 2 at Uranus and Neptune, and weaker electrical processes also occur throughout planetary atmospheres from galactic cosmic ray (GCR) ionisation. Li…
The Great Saturn Storm of 2010-2011
Agustín Sánchez-Lavega, Georg Fischer, Leigh N. Fletcher +5
In December 2010, a major storm erupted in Saturn's northern hemisphere near 37 degree planetographic latitude. This rather surprising event, occurring at an unexpected latitude an…
Dynamics of Saturn's great storm of 2010-2011 from Cassini ISS and RPWS
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Ulyana A. Dyudina, Shawn P. Ewald +6
Saturn's quasi-periodic planet-encircling storms are the largest convecting outbursts in the Solar System. The last eruption was in 1990. A new eruption started in December 2010 an…
Lightning detection in planetary atmospheres
Karen L Aplin, Georg Fischer
Lightning in planetary atmospheres is now a well-established concept. Here we discuss the available detection techniques for, and observations of, planetary lightning by spacecraft…
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…
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…
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy
O. Mousis, R. Hueso, J. -P. Beaulieu +57
Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy. Here we review the different domains of t…
Overview of Saturn lightning observations
G. Fischer, U. A. Dyudina, W. S. Kurth +8
The lightning activity in Saturn's atmosphere has been monitored by Cassini for more than six years. The continuous observations of the radio signatures called SEDs (Saturn Electro…
