Neptune at Summer Solstice: Zonal Mean Temperatures from Ground-Based Observations 2003-2007
Leigh N. Fletcher, Imke de Pater, Glenn S. Orton +3
Imaging and spectroscopy of Neptune's thermal infrared emission is used to assess seasonal changes in Neptune's zonal mean temperatures between Voyager-2 observations (1989, helioc…
First submillimeter observation of CO in the stratosphere of Uranus
T. Cavalié, R. Moreno, E. Lellouch +8
Context. Carbon monoxide (CO) has been detected in all Giant Planets and its origin is both internal and external in Jupiter and Neptune. Despite its first detection in Uranus a de…
Constraining the Atmospheric Composition of the Day-Night Terminators of HD 189733b : Atmospheric Retrieval with Aerosols
Jae-Min Lee, Patrick G. J. Irwin, Leigh N. Fletcher +2
A number of observations have shown that Rayleigh scattering by aerosols dominates the transmission spectrum of HD 189733b at wavelengths shortward of 1 m. In this study, we ret…
The optical transmission spectrum of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-32b: clouds explain the absence of broad spectral features?
N. P. Gibson, S. Aigrain, J. K. Barstow +3
We report Gemini-North GMOS observations of the inflated hot Jupiter HAT-P-32b during two primary transits. We simultaneously observed two comparison stars and used differential sp…
Constraining the atmosphere of GJ 1214b using an optimal estimation technique
Joanna K. Barstow, Suzanne Aigrain, Patrick G. J. Irwin +2
We explore cloudy, extended H2-He atmosphere scenarios for the warm super-Earth GJ 1214b using an optimal estimation retrieval technique. This planet, orbiting an M4.5 star only 13…
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy
O. Mousis, R. Hueso, J. -P. Beaulieu +57
Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy. Here we review the different domains of t…
