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…
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…
Jupiter's Equatorial Plumes and Hot Spots: Spectral Mapping from Gemini/TEXES and Juno/MWR
L. N. Fletcher, G. S. Orton, T. K. Greathouse +13
We present multi-wavelength measurements of the thermal, chemical, and cloud contrasts associated with the visibly dark formations (also known as 5-m hot spots) and intervening…
Jupiter's Mesoscale Waves Observed at 5 m by Ground-Based Observations and Juno JIRAM
L. N. Fletcher, H. Melin, A. Adriani +12
We characterise the origin and evolution of a mesoscale wave pattern in Jupiter's North Equatorial Belt (NEB), detected for the first time at 5 m using a 2016-17 campaign of `lu…
The crucial role of HST during the NASA Juno mission: a "Juno initiative"
Denis Grodent, Bertrand Bonfond, Jean-Claude Gérard +5
In 2016, the NASA Juno spacecraft will initiate its one-year mission around Jupiter and become the first probe to explore the polar regions of Jupiter. The HST UV instruments (STIS…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
The ODINUS Mission Concept - The Scientific Case for a Mission to the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft to Unveil the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
The purpose of this document is to discuss the scientific case of a space mission to the ice giants Uranus and Neptune and their satellite systems and its relevance to advance our…
The Comparative Exploration of the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft: Unveiling the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
In the course of the selection of the scientific themes for the second and third L-class missions of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program of the European Space Agency, the explorati…
EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory
G. Tinetti, J. P. Beaulieu, T. Henning +131
A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our Solar System in context…
