Contrasting C/O ratios in Uranus and Neptune from disequilibrium chemistry: A clue to distinct evolutionary pathways?

T. Briand, V. Hue, O. Mousis +4

The formation of Uranus and Neptune remains poorly constrained largely due to uncertain deep elemental abundances. Carbon monoxide (CO), a disequilibrium species in the upper tropo…

The Ultraviolet Spectrograph on ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer Mission (JUICE-UVS)

Kurt D. Retherford, Philippa M. Molyneux, Thomas K. Greathouse +51

The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission, led by ESA, has an Ultraviolet Spectrograph (JUICE-UVS) contributed by NASA and built at Southwest Research Institute. JUICE-UVS is…

Detection of propadiene (CHCCH), propene (CH) and non-detection of propane (CH) in Jupiter's northern polar stratosphere

James A. Sinclair, Thomas K. Greathouse, Rohini S. Giles +8

We report the first detection of stratospheric propadiene (CHCCH) and propene (CH) at Jupiter's mid-to-high northern latitudes using IRTF-TEXES measurements recorde…

The Polar Stratosphere of Jupiter

Vincent Hue, Thibault Cavalié, James A. Sinclair +13

Observations of the Jovian upper atmosphere at high latitudes in the UV, IR and mm/sub-mm all indicate that the chemical distributions and thermal structure are broadly influenced…

Evidence for auroral influence on Jupiter's nitrogen and oxygen chemistry revealed by ALMA

Thibault Cavalié, Ladislav Rezac, Raphael Moreno +10

The localized delivery of new long-lived species to Jupiter's stratosphere by comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1994 opened a window to constrain Jovian chemistry and dynamics by monitorin…

Insights on the Formation Conditions of Uranus and Neptune from their Deep Elemental Compositions

Olivier Mousis, Antoine Schneeberger, Thibault Cavalié +6

This study, placed in the context of the preparation for the Uranus Orbiter Probe mission, aims to predict the bulk volatile compositions of Uranus and Neptune. Using a protoplanet…

Temperature and composition disturbances in the southern auroral region of Jupiter revealed by JWST/MIRI

Pablo Rodríguez-Ovalle, Thierry Fouchet, Sandrine Guerlet +17

Jupiters south polar region was observed by JWST Mid Infrared Instrument in December 2022. We used the Medium Resolution Spectrometer mode to provide new information about Jupiters…

Recipes for forming a carbon-rich giant planet

Olivier Mousis, Thibault Cavalié, Jonathan I. Lunine +9

The exploration of carbon-to-oxygen ratios has yielded intriguing insights into the composition of close-in giant exoplanets, giving rise to a distinct classification: carbon-rich…

Saturn's Seasonal Atmosphere at Northern Summer Solstice

L. N. Fletcher, L. Sromovsky, V. Hue +4

The incredible longevity of Cassini's orbital mission at Saturn has provided the most comprehensive exploration of a seasonal giant planet to date. This review explores Saturn's ch…

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…
