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…

Lava Lakes on Io: crust age and implications for thermal output
Alessandro Mura, Rosaly M. C. Lopes, Federico Tosi +12
Recent observations by the JIRAM instrument onboard NASA's Juno mission have confirmed that many of Io's volcanic hot spots are active lava lakes, characterized by a colder central…

Mass supply from Io to Jupiter's magnetosphere
L. Roth, A. Blöcker, K. de Kleer +24
Since the Voyager mission flybys in 1979, we have known the moon Io to be both volcanically active and the main source of plasma in the vast magnetosphere of Jupiter. Material lost…
