Calibration of MAJIS (Moons And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer): I. On-ground setup description and characterisation
Mathieu Vincendon, Pierre Guiot, Benoît Lecomte +16
The visible and infrared Moon And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer (MAJIS), aboard the JUpiter ICy Moons Explorer (JUICE) spacecraft, will characterize the composition of the surfaces…
Widespread occurrence of lava lakes on Io observed from Juno
Alessandro Mura, Federico Tosi, Francesca Zambon +13
We report recent observations of lava lakes within patera on Io made by the JIRAM imager/spectrometer on board the Juno spacecraft, taken during close observation occurred in the e…
Calibration of MAJIS (Moons And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer): III. Spectral Calibration
Paolo Haffoud, François Poulet, Mathieu Vincendon +13
The Moons And Jupiter Imaging Spectrometer (MAJIS) is the visible and near-infrared imaging spectrometer onboard ESA s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission. Before its integr…
Validation of the IPSL Venus GCM Thermal Structure with Venus Express Data
Pietro Scarica, Itziar Garate-Lopez, Sebastien Lebonnois +4
General circulation models (GCMs) are valuable instruments to understand the most peculiar features in the atmospheres of planets and the mechanisms behind their dynamics. Venus ma…
A chaotic long-lived vortex at Venus southern pole
I. Garate-Lopez, R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega +3
Polar vortices are common in the atmospheres of rapidly rotating planets [1-4]. On Earth and Mars they are tied to the surface and their existence follows the seasonal insolation c…
Jupiter Science Enabled by ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
Leigh N. Fletcher, Thibault Cavalié, Davide Grassi +47
ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) will provide a detailed investigation of the Jovian system in the 2030s, combining a suite of state-of-the-art instruments with an orbital…
Global maps of Venus nightside mean infrared thermal emissions obtained by VIRTIS on Venus Express
A. Cardesin-Moinelo, G. Piccioni, A. Migliorini +6
One of the striking features about Venus atmosphere is its temporal variability and dynamics, with a chaotic polar vortex, large-scale atmospheric waves, sheared features, and vari…
Stationary waves and slowly moving features in the night upper clouds of Venus
J. Peralta, R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega +9
At the cloud top level of Venus (65-70 km altitude) the atmosphere rotates 60 times faster than the underlying surface, a phenomenon known as superrotation. Whereas on Venus's days…
Evolution of CO, CH, and OCS abundances relative to HO in the coma of comet 67P around perihelion from Rosetta/VIRTIS-H observations
D. Bockelée-Morvan, J. Crovisier, S. Erard +19
Infrared observations of the coma of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko were carried out from July to September 2015, i.e., around perihelion (13 August 2015), with the high-resolution chan…
The global surface composition of 67P/CG nucleus by Rosetta/VIRTIS. I) Prelanding mission phase
Gianrico Filacchione, Fabrizio Capaccioni, Mauro Ciarniello +27
From August to November 2014 the Rosetta orbiter has performed an extensive observation campaign aimed at the characterization of 67P/CG nucleus properties and to the selection of…
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…
The ODINUS Mission Concept - The Scientific Case for a Mission to the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft to Unveil the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
The purpose of this document is to discuss the scientific case of a space mission to the ice giants Uranus and Neptune and their satellite systems and its relevance to advance our…
The Comparative Exploration of the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft: Unveiling the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
In the course of the selection of the scientific themes for the second and third L-class missions of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program of the European Space Agency, the explorati…
