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…
Vertical Temperature Structure in Io's Atmosphere from ALMA SO Observations
Timothy N. Proudkii, Katherine de Kleer, Imke de Pater +4
The structure of Io's atmosphere is controlled by competing processes, from volcanic outgassing and sublimation to radiative cooling and plasma heating. Yet, the lack of an observa…
Thermal and Dielectric Properties of Juno's Regolith at One Millimeter Wavelength
Jian-Yang Li, Timothy N. Titus, Arielle Moullet +1
We present the modeling results of the thermal lightcurve of asteroid (3) Juno at the wavelength of = 1.3 mm measured by the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array. A th…

A. Moullet, D. Burgarella, T. Kataria +8
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) mission concept is a proposed mission to NASA's Astrophysics Probe Explorer (APEX) call. The concept features a cryogenicall…
Isotopic composition of cometary water and the origin of Earth's oceans
Dariusz C. Lis, Martin Cordiner, Nicolas Biver +4
Studies of the water content and isotopic composition of water-rich asteroids and comets are of key interest for understanding the late accretion stage of the Solar System cometary…
The Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for PRIMA: Science Drivers
Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Alberto Bolatto, J D Smith +25
We present the science drivers for the Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS), one of two science instrument on the PRobe Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA). FIR…
