Jupiter Science Enabled by ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
Leigh N. Fletcher, Thibault Cavalié, Davide Grassi +47
ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) will provide a detailed investigation of the Jovian system in the 2030s, combining a suite of state-of-the-art instruments with an orbital…
Molecular composition of comet 46P/Wirtanen from millimetre-wave spectroscopy
N. Biver, D. Bockelée-Morvan, J. Boissier +11
We present the results of a molecular survey of comet 46P/Wirtanen undertaken with the IRAM 30-m and NOEMA radio telescopes in December 2018. Observations at IRAM 30-m during the 1…
The extraordinary composition of the "blue comet" C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS)
N. Biver, D. Bockelée-Morvan, G. Paubert +9
We present a multi-wavelength study of comet C/2016 R2 (PanSTARRS). This comet was observed on 23-24 January 2018 with the IRAM 30m telescope, and in January to March 2018 with the…
The thermal emission of Centaurs and Trans-Neptunian objects at millimeter wavelengths from ALMA observations
E. Lellouch, R. Moreno, T. Müller +9
The sensitivity of ALMA makes it possible to detect thermal mm/submm emission from small/distant Solar System bodies at the sub-mJy level. Measured fluxes are primarily sensitive t…
Scientific rationale for Uranus and Neptune in situ explorations
O. Mousis, D. H. Atkinson, T. Cavalié +53
The ice giants Uranus and Neptune are the least understood class of planets in our solar system but the most frequently observed type of exoplanets. Presumed to have a small rocky…
Isotopic ratios of H, C, N, O, and S in comets C/2012 F6 (Lemmon) and C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy)
N. Biver, R. Moreno, D. Bockelée-Morvan +15
The apparition of bright comets C/2012 F6 (Lemmon) and C/2014 Q2 (Lovejoy) in March-April 2013 and January 2015, combined with the improved observational capabilities of submillime…
Ethyl alcohol and sugar in comet C/2014Q2 (Lovejoy)
Nicolas Biver, Dominique Bockelée-Morvan, Raphaël Moreno +7
The presence of numerous complex organic molecules (COMs; defined as those containing six or more atoms) around protostars shows that star formation is accompanied by an increase o…
Complex organic molecules in comets C/2012 F6 (Lemmon) and C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy): detection of ethylene glycol and formamide
N. Biver, D. Bockelée-Morvan, V. Debout +9
A spectral survey in the 1 mm wavelength range was undertaken in the long-period comets C/2012 F6 (Lemmon) and C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) using the 30 m telescope of the Institut de radio…
Scientific rationale of Saturn's in situ exploration
O. Mousis, L. N. Fletcher, J. -P. Lebreton +47
Remote sensing observations meet some limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. A remarkable example of the superior…
Herschel/PACS spectroscopy of trace gases of the stratosphere of Titan
Miriam Rengel, Hideo Sagawa, Paul Hartogh +7
Aims: We investigate the composition of Titan's stratosphere from new medium-resolution far-infrared observations performed with the full range of Herschel's Photodetector Array Ca…
First submillimeter observation of CO in the stratosphere of Uranus
T. Cavalié, R. Moreno, E. Lellouch +8
Context. Carbon monoxide (CO) has been detected in all Giant Planets and its origin is both internal and external in Jupiter and Neptune. Despite its first detection in Uranus a de…
The D/H ratio in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune from Herschel PACS observations
H. Feuchtgruber, E. Lellouch, G. Orton +9
Herschel-PACS measurements of the rotational R(0) and R(1) HD lines in the atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune are analyzed in order to derive a D/H ratio with improved precision for…
Wind mapping in Venus' upper mesosphere with the IRAM-Plateau de Bure interferometer
A. Moullet, E. Lellouch, R. Moreno +2
The dynamics of the upper mesosphere of Venus (~85-115 km) have been characterized as a combination of a retrograde superrotating zonal wind (RSZ) with a subsolar-to-antisolar flow…
The Herschel-SPIRE submillimetre spectrum of Mars
B. M. Swinyard, P. Hartogh, S. Sidher +44
We have obtained the first continuous disk averaged spectrum of Mars from 450 to 1550 Ghz using the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer. The spectrum was obtained at a co…
