One EURO for Uranus: the Elliptical Uranian Relativity Orbiter mission

Lorenzo Iorio, Athul P. Girija, Daniele Durante

Recent years have seen increasing interest in sending a mission to Uranus, visited so far only by Voyager 2 in 1986. EURO (Elliptical Uranian Relativity Orbiter) is a preliminary m…

Design and performance of a Martian autonomous navigation system based on a smallsat constellation

S. Molli, D. Durante, G. Boscagli +6

Deciphering the genesis and evolution of the Martian polar caps can provide crucial understanding of Mars' climate system. The growing scientific interest for the exploration of Ma…

INPOP Planetary ephemerides and applications in the frame of the BepiColombo mission including new constraints on the graviton mass and dilaton parameters

A. Fienga, L. Bernus, O. Minazzoli +7

We present here the new results obtained with the INPOP planetary ephemerides and BepiColombo radio-science simulations. We give new constraints for the classic General Relativity…

Jupiter's inhomogeneous envelope

Y. Miguel, M. Bazot, T. Guillot +13

While Jupiter's massive gas envelope consists mainly of hydrogen and helium, the key to understanding Jupiter's formation and evolution lies in the distribution of the remaining (h…

Possible evidence of p-modes in Cassini measurements of Saturn's gravity field

Steve Markham, Daniele Durante, Luciano Iess +1

We analyze the range rate residual data from Cassini's gravity experiment that cannot be explained with a static, zonally symmetric gravity field. In this paper we reproduce the da…

Keys of a Mission to Uranus or Neptune, the Closest Ice Giants

Tristan Guillot, Jonathan Fortney, Emily Rauscher +26

Uranus and Neptune are the archetypes of "ice giants", a class of planets that may be among the most common in the Galaxy. They hold the keys to understand the atmospheric dynamics…

Determining the depth of Jupiter's Great Red Spot with Juno: a Slepian approach

Eli Galanti, Yohai Kaspi, Frederik J. Simons +3

One of Jupiter's most prominent atmospheric features, the Great Red Spot (GRS), has been observed for more than two centuries, yet little is known about its structure and dynamics…

Saturn's deep atmospheric flows revealed by the Cassini Grand Finale gravity measurements

Eli Galanti, Yohai Kaspi, Yamila Miguel +4

How deep do Saturn's zonal winds penetrate below the cloud-level has been a decades-long question, with important implications not only for the atmospheric dynamics, but also for t…

The effect of Jupiter oscillations on Juno gravity measurements

D. Durante, T. Guillot, L. Iess

Seismology represents a unique method to probe the interiors of giant planets. Recently, Saturn's f-modes have been indirectly observed in its rings, and there is strong evidence f…
