Why the Northern Hemisphere Needs a 30-40 m Telescope and the Science at Stake: Key Targets of Opportunity on Gas and Ice Giants and their satellites
Ricardo Hueso, Leigh N. Fletcher, Damya Souami +15
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) will transform our knowledge of the outer planets and their satellite systems; however the visibility of unique targets of opportunity with high…
Improved H2-He and H2-H2 Collision-Induced Absorption Models and Application to Outer-Planet Atmospheres
Glenn S. Orton, Magnus Gustafsson, Leigh N. Fletcher +2
Using state-of-the-art ab initio interaction-induced dipole and potential-energy surfaces for hydrogen-helium (H2-He) pairs, we compute the rototranslational collision-induced abso…
The Atmosphere of Titan in Late Northern Summer from JWST and Keck Observations
Conor A. Nixon, Bruno Bézard, Thomas Cornet +42
Saturn's moon Titan undergoes a long annual cycle of 29.45 Earth years. Titan's northern winter and spring were investigated in detail by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft (2004-2017)…
Clouds and Hazes in GJ 1214b's Metal-Rich Atmosphere
Isaac Malsky, Emily Rauscher, Kevin Stevenson +10
The sub-Neptune GJ 1214b has an infamously flat transmission spectrum, likely due to thick aerosols in its atmosphere. A recent JWST MIRI spectroscopic phase curve of GJ 1214 b add…
Internal Heat and Energy Imbalance of Uranus
Xinyue Wang, Liming Li, Michael Roman +13
With its extreme axial tilt, radiant energy budget and internal heat of Uranus remain among the most intriguing mysteries of our Solar System. Here, we present the global radiant e…
