The Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) on Mars Express: a new science instrument made from an old webcam orbiting Mars
Jorge From, :, Jorge Hernández-Bernal +19
The Visual Monitoring Camera (VMC) is a small imaging instrument onboard Mars Express with a field of view of ~40x30 degrees. The camera was initially intended to provide visual co…
The deep oxygen abundance in Solar System Giant Planets, with a new derivation for Saturn
Thibault Cavalié, Jonathan Lunine, Olivier Mousis +1
Deep elemental composition is a challenging measurement to achieve in the giant planets of the solar system. Yet, knowledge of the deep composition offers important insights in the…
Dynamics of Saturn's Polar Regions
A. Antuñano, T. del Río-Gaztelurrutia, A. Sánchez-Lavega +1
We analyze data retrieved by the Imaging Science System onboard the Cassini spacecraft to study the horizontal velocity and vorticity fields of Saturn's Polar Regions (latitudes 60…
The long-term steady motion of Saturn's Hexagon and the stability of its enclosed jet-stream under seasonal changes
A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del Río-Gaztelurrutia, R. Hueso +15
We investigate the long-term motion of Saturn's North-Pole Hexagon and the structure of its associated eastward jet, using Cassini ISS and ground-based images from 2008 to 2014. We…
A model of scattered thermal radiation for Venus from 3 to 5 m
A. García Muñoz, P. Wolkenberg, A. Sánchez-Lavega +2
Thermal radiation becomes a prominent feature in the continuum spectrum of Venus longwards of 3 m. The emission is traceable to the upper cloud and haze layers in the plan…
Instantaneous Three-dimensional Thermal Structure of the South Polar Vortex of Venus
I. Garate-Lopez, A. García Muñoz, R. Hueso +1
The Venus thermal radiation spectrum exhibits the signature of absorption bands. By means of inversion techniques, those bands enable the retrieval of atmospheric temperatur…
An Enduring Rapidly Moving Storm as a Guide to Saturn's Equatorial Jet's Complex Structure
A. Sánchez-Lavega, E. García-Melendo, S. Perez-Hoyos +14
Saturn has an intense and broad eastward equatorial jet with a complex three-dimensional structure mixed with time variability. The equatorial region experiences strong seasonal in…
Six years of Venus winds at the upper cloud level from UV, visible and near infrared observations from VIRTIS on Venus Express
Ricardo Hueso, Javier Peralta, Itziar Garate-Lopez +2
Venus Express provided a long-term monitoring of Venus atmosphere. Several works focused on the dynamics of the upper cloud visible on the day-side in ultraviolet images sensitive…
A chaotic long-lived vortex at Venus southern pole
I. Garate-Lopez, R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega +3
Polar vortices are common in the atmospheres of rapidly rotating planets [1-4]. On Earth and Mars they are tied to the surface and their existence follows the seasonal insolation c…
Multilayer hazes over Saturn's hexagon from Cassini ISS limb images
A. Sánchez-Lavega, A. García-Muñoz, T. del Río-Gaztelurrutia +5
In June 2015, Cassini high-resolution images of Saturn's limb southwards of the planet's hexagonal wave revealed a system of at least six stacked haze layers above the upper cloud…
Mars 2020 Perseverance rover studies of the Martian atmosphere over Jezero from pressure measurements
A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del Rio-Gaztelurrutia, R. Hueso +24
The pressure sensors on Mars rover Perseverance measure the pressure field in the Jezero crater on regular hourly basis starting in sol 15 after landing. The present study extends…
