Atmospheric circulation of Venus measured with visible imaging-spectroscopy at the THEMIS observatory
Patrick Gaulme, Francois-Xavier Schmider, Thomas Widemann +3
Measuring Venus' atmospheric circulation at different altitudes is important for understanding its complex dynamics, in particular the mechanisms driving the super-rotation. Observ…
Study of the plutino object (208996) 2003 AZ84 from stellar occultations: size, shape and topographic features
A. Dias-Oliveira, B. Sicardy, J. L. Ortiz +60
We present results derived from four stellar occultations by the plutino object (208996) 2003~AZ, detected at January 8, 2011 (single-chord event), February 3, 2012 (multi-c…
Venus: Key to understanding the evolution of terrestrial planets
Colin Wilson
Why are the terrestrial planets so different? Venus should be the most Earth-like of all our planetary neighbours. Its size, bulk composition and distance from the Sun are very sim…
EnVision: understanding why our most Earth-like neighbour is so different
Richard Ghail, Colin Wilson, Thomas Widemann +9
This document is the EnVision Venus orbiter proposal, submitted in October 2016 in response to ESA's M5 call for Medium-size missions for its Science Programme, for launch in 2029.…
Using the transit of Venus to probe the upper planetary atmosphere
Fabio Reale, Angelo F. Gambino, Giuseppina Micela +3
The atmosphere of a transiting planet shields the stellar radiation providing us with a powerful method to estimate its size and density. In particular, because of their high ioniz…
Venus wind map at cloud top level with the MTR/THEMIS visible spectrometer. I. Instrumental performance and first results
P. Gaulme, F. -X Schmider, C. Grec +3
Solar light gets scattered at cloud top level in Venus' atmosphere, in the visible range, which corresponds to the altitude of 67 km. We present Doppler velocity measurements perfo…
