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…
Constraining Electron-Impact Ionization of O Through UV Aurora Observations at Ganymede
Stefan Duling, Joachim Saur, Darrell Strobel +3
While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron-impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative…
Characterising injection signatures in Jupiter's ultraviolet aurora using Juno observations
Linus Head, Denis Grodent, Bertrand Bonfond +12
Discrete features in Jupiter's ultraviolet aurora have been interpreted as signatures of plasma injections in the middle magnetosphere. There exists some ambiguity whether magnetod…
Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory Detailed Science Case 2024
Warren Skidmore, Bob Kirshner, David Andersen +168
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International Observatory (TIO) will be a revolutionary leap forward in astronomical observing capabilities, enabling us to address some of the mos…
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…
