Atmospheric Science Questions for a Uranian Probe
Emma K. Dahl, Naomi Rowe-Gurney, Glenn S. Orton +5
The Ice Giants represent a unique and relatively poorly characterized class of planets that have been largely unexplored since the brief Voyager 2 flyby in the late 1980's. Uranus…
Exploration Strategy for the Outer Planets 2023-2032: Goals and Priorities
Jeff Moore, Linda Spilker, Morgan Cable +12
The outer solar system has a diverse range of objects, holding important clues about the formation and evolution of our solar system, the emergence and current distribution of life…
Saturn atmospheric dynamics one year after Cassini: Long-lived features and time variations in the drift of the Hexagon
R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega, J. F. Rojas +15
We examine Saturn's atmosphere with observations from ground-based telescopes and Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We present a detailed analysis of observations acquired during 2018.…
In situ Exploration of the Giant Planets
Olivier Mousis, David H. Atkinson, Richard Ambrosi +27
Remote sensing observations suffer significant limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. This impacts our knowledge…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Triggered High-Priority Observations of Dynamic Solar System Phenomena
Nancy Chanover, Michael H. Wong, Thomas Greathouse +30
Unexpected dynamic phenomena have surprised solar system observers in the past and have led to important discoveries about solar system workings. Observations at the initial stages…
Solar system Deep Time-Surveys of atmospheres, surfaces, and rings
Michael H. Wong, Richard Cartwright, Nancy Chanover +20
Imaging and resolved spectroscopy reveal varying environmental conditions in our dynamic solar system. Many key advances have focused on how these conditions change over time. Obse…
Solar System Ice Giants: Exoplanets in our Backyard
Abigail Rymer, Kathleen Mandt, Dana Hurley +110
Future remote sensing of exoplanets will be enhanced by a thorough investigation of our solar system Ice Giants (Neptune-size planets). What can the configuration of the magnetic f…
Neptune long-lived atmospheric features in 2013-2015 from small (28-cm) to large (10-m) telescopes
R. Hueso, I. de Pater, A. Simon +32
Since 2013, observations of Neptune with small telescopes have resulted in several detections of long-lived bright atmospheric features that have also been observed by large telesc…
The Great Saturn Storm of 2010-2011
Agustín Sánchez-Lavega, Georg Fischer, Leigh N. Fletcher +5
In December 2010, a major storm erupted in Saturn's northern hemisphere near 37 degree planetographic latitude. This rather surprising event, occurring at an unexpected latitude an…
Saturn's Polar Atmosphere
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Kevin H. Baines, Ulyana A. Dyudina +3
This book chapter, Saturn's Polar Atmosphere, is to be published by Cambridge University Press as part of a multi-volume work edited by Kevin Baines, Michael Flasar, Norbert Krupp,…
Dynamics of Saturn's great storm of 2010-2011 from Cassini ISS and RPWS
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Ulyana A. Dyudina, Shawn P. Ewald +6
Saturn's quasi-periodic planet-encircling storms are the largest convecting outbursts in the Solar System. The last eruption was in 1990. A new eruption started in December 2010 an…
Record-breaking Storm Activity on Uranus in 2014
Imke de Pater, L. A. Sromovsky, P. M. Fry +3
In spite of an expected decline in convective activity following the 2007 equinox of Uranus, eight sizable storms were detected on the planet with the near-infrared camera NIRC2, c…
Mission to the Trojan Asteroids: lessons learned during a JPL Planetary Science Summer School mission design exercise
Serina Diniega, Kunio M. Sayanagi, Jeffrey Balcerski +16
The 2013 Planetary Science Decadal Survey identified a detailed investigation of the Trojan asteroids occupying Jupiter's L4 and L5 Lagrange points as a priority for future NASA mi…
