Ultraviolet-Based Science in the Solar System: Advances and Next Steps
Amanda R. Hendrix, Tracy M. Becker, Dennis Bodewits +25
We review the importance of recent UV observations of solar system targets and discuss the need for further measurements, instrumentation and laboratory work in the coming decade.…
Saturn northern aurorae at solstice from HST observations coordinated with Cassini Grand Finale
L. Lamy, R. Prangé, C. Tao +8
Throughout 2017, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observed the northern far-ultraviolet aurorae of Saturn at northern solstice, during the Cassini Grand Finale. These conditions pr…
The Lyman-α Sky Background as Observed by New Horizons
G. Randall Gladstone, Wayne R. Pryor, S. Alan Stern +22
Recent observations of interplanetary medium (IPM) atomic hydrogen Lyman-α (Lyα) emission in the outer solar system, made with the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph on New Horizons (N…
HST observations of planetary aurorae, a unique tool to study giant magnetospheres
L. Lamy, R. Prangé, S. Badman +4
Ultraviolet (UV) planetary astronomy is a unique tool to probe planetary environments of the solar system and beyond. But despite a rising interest for new generation giant UV tele…
