Surveying exogenous species in Saturn with ALMA. II. Detecting and Mapping HCN
T. Fouchet, T. Cavalié, R. Moreno +3
Several external sources (the rings, the satellites, cometary impacts, interplanetary dust particles) supply material to the upper atmosphere of Saturn. The signature of this exter…
Juice-SWI during the Lunar-Earth-Gravity-Assist (LEGA) - Part 2: Instrument operations
T. Cavalié, R. Moreno, L. Rezac +17
The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) embarked in 2023 on a 8-year interplanetary journey to Jupiter and its icy moons. The Submillimetre Wave Instrument (SWI) is one of the ten s…
New 12C/13C and 14N/15N isotopic ratio measurements in Jupiter's stratosphere revealed by ALMA
C. Lefour, T. Cavalié, R. Moreno +4
The collision of comet SL9 with Jupiter in 1994 changed the chemical composition of the Jovian stratosphere for decades. New molecules were detected minutes after the impacts (HCN,…
Detection of stratospheric HCN and tropospheric CO in Uranus and the implication for their sources
T. Cavalié, R. Moreno, C. Lefour +16
Uranus belongs to the category of ice giants that are common in our Galaxy. However, Uranus is one of the least explored and understood planets in our Solar System. This work aims…
Latitudinal variations in Neptune's temperature profile observed with ALMA
Óscar Carrión-González, Raphael Moreno, Emmanuel Lellouch +5
Despite the low solar irradiation it receives, Neptune shows a very active atmosphere with some of the most intense dynamics observed in Solar System atmospheres. Characterizing th…
Observations of the temporal evolution of Saturn's stratosphere following the Great Storm of 2010-2011. II. Latitudinal distribution of CO and stratospheric winds
T. Cavalié, R. Moreno, C. Lefour +8
Saturn's Great Storm of 2010-2011 has produced two stratospheric hot spots, the "beacons," that eventually merged to produce a gigantic one in April and May 2011. This beacon pertu…
The Atmosphere of Titan in Late Northern Summer from JWST and Keck Observations
Conor A. Nixon, Bruno Bézard, Thomas Cornet +42
Saturn's moon Titan undergoes a long annual cycle of 29.45 Earth years. Titan's northern winter and spring were investigated in detail by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft (2004-2017)…
A patchy CO exosphere on Ganymede revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope
Dominique Bockelée-Morvan, Olivier Poch, Françcois Leblanc +25
Jupiter's icy moon Ganymede has a tenuous exosphere produced by sputtering and possibly sublimation of water ice. To date, only atomic hydrogen and oxygen have been directly detect…
Mass supply from Io to Jupiter's magnetosphere
L. Roth, A. Blöcker, K. de Kleer +24
Since the Voyager mission flybys in 1979, we have known the moon Io to be both volcanically active and the main source of plasma in the vast magnetosphere of Jupiter. Material lost…
Composition and thermal properties of Ganymede's surface from JWST/NIRSpec and MIRI observations
D. Bockelee-Morvan, E. Lellouch, O. Poch +21
JWST NIRSpec IFU (2.9-5.3 mu) and MIRI MRS (4.9-28.5 mu) observations were performed on both the leading and trailing hemispheres of Ganymede with a spectral resolution of ~2700. R…
Doppler wind measurements in Neptune's stratosphere with ALMA
Óscar Carrión-González, Raphael Moreno, Emmanuel Lellouch +6
Neptune's tropospheric winds are among the most intense in the Solar System, but the dynamical mechanisms that produce them remain uncertain. Measuring wind speeds at different pre…
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…
Wind mapping in Venus' upper mesosphere with the IRAM-Plateau de Bure interferometer
A. Moullet, E. Lellouch, R. Moreno +2
The dynamics of the upper mesosphere of Venus (~85-115 km) have been characterized as a combination of a retrograde superrotating zonal wind (RSZ) with a subsolar-to-antisolar flow…
