Infrared Characterisation of Jupiter's Equatorial Disturbance Cycle

Arrate Antuñano, Leigh N. Fletcher, Glenn S. Orton +6

We use an infrared dataset captured between 1984 and 2017 using several instruments and observatories to report five rare equatorial disturbances that completely altered the appear…

Saturn's Seasonal Variability from Four Decades of Ground-Based Mid-Infrared Observations

James S. D. Blake, Leigh N. Fletcher, Glenn S. Orton +8

A multi-decade record of ground-based mid-infrared (7-25 m) images of Saturn is used to explore seasonal and non-seasonal variability in thermal emission over more than a Saturn…

Refining Saturn's deuterium-hydrogen ratio via IRTF/TEXES spectroscopy

James S. D. Blake, Leigh N. Fletcher, Thomas K. Greathouse +7

The abundance of deuterium in giant planet atmospheres provides constraints on the reservoirs of ices incorporated into these worlds during their formation and evolution. Motivated…

Conjugate observations of Saturn's northern and southern H3+ aurorae

James O'Donoghue, Tom S. Stallard, Henrik Melin +7

We present an analysis of recent high spatial and spectral resolution ground-based infrared observations of H3+ spectra obtained with the 10-metre Keck II telescope in April 2011.…

The domination of Saturn's low latitude ionosphere by ring `rain'

J. O'Donoghue, T. S. Stallard, H. Melin +5

Saturn's ionosphere is produced when the otherwise neutral atmosphere is exposed to a flow of energetic charged particles or solar radiation. At low latitudes the latter should res…
