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…
No evidence of magma ocean on Io based on Juno/JIRAM data
Federico Tosi, Alessandro Mura, Francesca Zambon
A recent paper (ref. 1) used infrared images of Io acquired by the Juno/JIRAM instrument to derive a latitudinal dependence of the spectral radiance and conclude that such latitudi…
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…
Observations of Loki Patera by Juno during close flybys
Alessandro Mura, JIRAM-Io team
We used data from the Juno spacecraft to investigate both the spatial and temporal properties of Loki Patera on Io, acquired in two infrared bands between December 2022 and April 2…
