Jupiter Science Enabled by ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
Leigh N. Fletcher, Thibault Cavalié, Davide Grassi +47
ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) will provide a detailed investigation of the Jovian system in the 2030s, combining a suite of state-of-the-art instruments with an orbital…
Moonraker -- Enceladus Multiple Flyby Mission
O. Mousis, A. Bouquet, Y. Langevin +50
Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, possesses an internal water ocean and jets expelling ocean material into space. Cassini investigations indicated that the subsurface ocean could b…
Martian cloud climatology and life cycle extracted from Mars Express OMEGA spectral images
André Szantai, Joachim Audouard, Francois Forget +7
We extracted a Martian water-ice cloud climatology from OMEGA data covering 7 Martian years (MY 26-32). We derived two products, the Reversed Ice Cloud Index (ICIR) and the Percent…
Synthesis of the Morphological Description of Cometary Dust at Comet 67P
C. Güttler, T. Mannel, A. Rotundi +28
Before Rosetta, the space missions Giotto and Stardust shaped our view on cometary dust, supported by plentiful data from Earth based observations and interplanetary dust particles…
Evidence of sub-surface energy storage in comet 67P from the outburst of 2016 July 3
J. Agarwal, V. Della Corte, P. D. Feldman +67
On 3 July 2016, several instruments on board ESA's Rosetta spacecraft detected signs of an outburst event on comet 67P, at a heliocentric distance of 3.32 AU from the sun, outbound…
Water in the Martian regolith from OMEGA/Mars Express
Joachim Audouard, François Poulet, Mathieu Vincendon +5
Here we discuss one of the current reservoirs of water on Mars, the regolith and rocks exposed at the surface. This reservoir is characterized by the presence of H_{2}O- and OH- be…
Yearly and seasonal variations of low albedo surfaces on Mars in the OMEGA/MEx dataset: Constraints on aerosols properties and dust deposits
Mathieu Vincendon, Yves Langevin, François Poulet +5
The time variations of spectral properties of dark martian surface features are investigated using the OMEGA near-IR dataset. The analyzed period covers two Mars years, spanning fr…
A spherical Monte-Carlo model of aerosols: Validation and first applications to Mars and Titan
Mathieu Vincendon, Yves Langevin
The atmospheres of Mars and Titan are loaded with aerosols that impact remote sensing observations of their surface. Here we present the algorithm and the first applications of a r…
Dust aerosols above the south polar cap of Mars as seen by OMEGA
Mathieu Vincendon, Yves Langevin, François Poulet +4
The time evolution of atmospheric dust at high southern latitudes on Mars has been determined using observations of the south seasonal cap acquired in the near infrared (1-2.65 μm)…
Recovery of surface reflectance spectra and evaluation of the optical depth of aerosols in the near-IR using a Monte-Carlo approach: Application to the OMEGA observations of high latitude regions of Mars
Mathieu Vincendon, Yves Langevin, François Poulet +2
We present a model of radiative transfer through atmospheric particles based on Monte Carlo methods. This model can be used to analyze and remove the contribution of aerosols in re…
Sublimation of the Martian CO2 Seasonal South Polar Cap
Frederic Schmidt, Bernard Schmitt, Sylvain Doute +6
The polar condensation/sublimation of CO2, that involve about one fourth of the atmosphere mass, is the major Martian climatic cycle. Early observations in visible and thermal infr…
