Cloud and ammonia vertical profiles in the equatorial atmosphere of Jupiter determined from visible to near-IR observations made by VLT/MUSE, Cassini/VIMS, IRTF/SpeX and Juno/JIRAM
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Asier Anguiano-Arteaga, Michelle Colantoni +8
We present a combined cloud/ammonia model for Jupiter's equatorial atmosphere from 0.1 to 10 bar, consistent with observations made at a range of observation geometries from 0.35 t…
Colour changes of Jupiter's Oval BA through microphysical modelling
Asier Anguiano-Arteaga, Santiago Pérez-Hoyos, AgustÃn Sánchez-Lavega +1
Jupiter's Oval BA undergoes recurrent colour changes whose physical origin remains uncertain. Radiative transfer retrievals indicate that these changes occur in the upper chromopho…
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…
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)…
The bolometric Bond albedo and energy balance of Uranus
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Daniel D. Wenkert, Amy A. Simon +2
Using a newly developed `holistic' atmospheric model of the aerosol structure in Uranus's atmosphere, based upon observations made by HST/STIS, Gemini/NIFS and IRTF/SpeX from 2000…
Improved Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopic Ratios for CHCN in Titan's Atmosphere Using ALMA
J. Nosowitz, M. A. Cordiner, C. A. Nixon +6
Titan, Saturn's largest satellite, maintains an atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen (N) and methane (CH) that leads to a complex organic chemistry. Some of the nitril…
