High S/N Keck and Gemini AO imaging of Uranus during 2012-2014: New cloud patterns, increasing activity, and improved wind measurements

L. A. Sromovsky, I. de Pater, P. M. Fry +2

We imaged Uranus in the near infrared from 2012 into 2014, using the Keck/NIRC2 camera and Gemini/NIRI camera, both with adaptive optics. We obtained exceptional signal to noise ra…

Accurate and Approximate Calculations of Raman Scattering in the Atmosphere of Neptune

Lawrence Sromovsky

Raman scattering by H in Neptune's atmosphere has significant effects on its reflectivity for 0.5 m, producing baseline decreases of 20% in a clear atmosphere an…

The source of widespread 3-m absorption in Jupiter's clouds: Constraints from 2000 Cassini VIMS observations

Lawrence Sromovsky, Patrick Fry

The Cassini flyby of Jupiter in 2000 provided spatially resolved spectra of Jupiter's atmosphere using the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS). These spectra contain a…

Dynamics of cloud features on Uranus

Lawrence Sromovsky, Patrick Fry

Near-infrared adaptive optics imaging of Uranus by the Keck 2 telescope during 2003 and 2004 has revealed numerous discrete cloud features, 70 of which were used to extend the zona…

Methane on Uranus: The case for a compact CH4 cloud layer at low latitudes and a severe CH4 depletion at high-latitudes based on re-analysis of Voyager occultation measurements and STIS spectroscopy

Lawrence Sromovsky, Patrick Fry, Joo Hyeon Kim

Lindal et al. (1987, J. Geophys. Res. 92, 14987-15001) presented a range of temperature and CH4 profiles for Uranus that were consistent with 1986 Voyager radio occultation measure…

Uranus at equinox: Cloud morphology and dynamics

Lawrence Sromovsky, Patrick Fry, Heidi Hammel +5

As the 7 December 2007 equinox of Uranus approached, ring and atmosphere observers produced a substantial collection of observations using the 10-m Keck telescope and the Hubble Sp…
