Giant Planet Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope
James Norwood, Julianne Moses, Leigh N. Fletcher +8
This white paper examines the benefit of the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope for studies of the Solar System's four giant planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. JWST's…
Saturn's Seasonally Changing Atmosphere: Thermal Structure, Composition and Aerosols
Leigh N. Fletcher, Thomas K. Greathouse, Julianne I. Moses +2
The longevity of Cassini's exploration of Saturn's atmosphere (a third of a Saturnian year) means that we have been able to track the seasonal evolution of atmospheric temperatures…
Spectral analysis of Uranus' 2014 bright storm with VLT/SINFONI
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Leigh N. Fletcher, Peter L. Read +5
An extremely bright storm system observed in Uranus' atmosphere by amateur observers in September 2014 triggered an international campaign to observe this feature with many telesco…
Seasonal Variability of Saturn's Tropospheric Temperatures, Winds and Para-H from Cassini Far-IR Spectroscopy
Leigh N. Fletcher, Patrick G. J. Irwin, Richard K. Achterberg +2
Far-IR 16-1000 m spectra of Saturn's hydrogen-helium continuum measured by Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) are inverted to construct a near-continuous record of…
Cloud structure and composition of Jupiter's troposphere from 5-μm Cassini VIMS spectroscopy
Rohini S. Giles, Leigh N. Fletcher, Patrick G. J. Irwin
Jupiter's tropospheric composition and cloud structure are studied using Cassini VIMS 4.5-5.1 μm thermal emission spectra from the 2000-2001 flyby. We make use of both nadir and li…
Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory Detailed Science Case 2024
Warren Skidmore, Bob Kirshner, David Andersen +168
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International Observatory (TIO) will be a revolutionary leap forward in astronomical observing capabilities, enabling us to address some of the mos…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
Transit spectroscopy with JWST: Systematics, starspots and stitching
Joanna K. Barstow, Suzanne Aigrain, Patrick G. J. Irwin +2
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is predicted to make great advances in the field of exoplanet atmospheres. Its 25 m2 mirror means that it can reach unprecedented levels of pr…
