HST/WFC3 Observations of Uranus' 2014 storm clouds and comparison with VLT/SINFONI and IRTF/SpeX observations
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Michael H. Wong, Amy A. Simon +2
Observations of Uranus were made on the 8/9th November with HST/WFC3 at a time when a huge cloud complex was present at 30 - 40N. We imaged Uranus in seven filters spanning 467 - 9…
Latitudinal variability in Jupiter's tropospheric disequilibrium species: GeH, AsH and PH
Rohini S. Giles, Leigh N. Fletcher, Patrick G. J. Irwin
Jupiter's tropospheric composition is studied using high resolution spatially-resolved 5-micron observation from the CRIRES instrument at the Very Large Telescope. The high resolvi…
Jupiter's Para-H Distribution from SOFIA/FORCAST and Voyager/IRIS 17-37 m Spectroscopy
Leigh N. Fletcher, I. de Pater, W. T. Reach +4
Spatially resolved maps of Jupiter's far-infrared 17-37 m hydrogen-helium collision-induced spectrum were acquired by the FORCAST instrument on the Stratospheric Observatory for…
Habitable worlds with JWST: transit spectroscopy of the TRAPPIST-1 system?
Joanna K. Barstow, Patrick G. J. Irwin
The recent discovery of three Earth-sized, potentially habitable planets around a nearby cool star, TRAPPIST-1, has provided three key targets for the upcoming James Webb Space Tel…
Detection of H3+ auroral emission in Jupiter's 5-micron window
Rohini S. Giles, Leigh N. Fletcher, Patrick G. J. Irwin +2
We use high-resolution ground-based observations from the VLT CRIRES instrument in December 2012 to identify sixteen previously undetected H3+ emission lines from Jupiter's ionosph…
Telling twins apart: Exo-Earths and Venuses with transit spectroscopy
Joanna K. Barstow, Suzanne Aigrain, Patrick G. J. Irwin +2
The planned launch of the James Webb Space Telescope in 2018 will herald a new era of exoplanet spectroscopy. JWST will be the first telescope sensitive enough to potentially chara…
Probing Saturn's tropospheric cloud with Cassini/VIMS
Joanna K Barstow, Patrick G. J. Irwin, Leigh N. Fletcher +2
In its decade of operation the Cassini mission has allowed us to look deep into Saturn's atmosphere and investigate the processes occurring below its enshrouding haze. We use Visua…
