The impact of ultraviolet heating and cooling on the dynamics and observability of lava planet atmospheres
T. Giang Nguyen, Nicolas B. Cowan, Raymond T. Pierrehumbert +2
Lava planets have non-global, condensible atmospheres similar to icy bodies within the solar system. Because they depend on interior dynamics, studying the atmospheres of lava plan…
Laboratory investigations of Lunar ice imaging in permanently shadowed regions using reflected starlight
Paul J. Godin, Jacob L. Kloos, Alex Seguin +1
A proof of concept for a frost detection imager using reflected starlight is presented; the limitations of this technique are explored experimentally. An ice-covered lunar surface…
Aphelion Cloud Belt Phase Function Investigations with Mars Color Imager (MARCI)
Brittney A. Cooper, John E. Moores, Joseph M. Battalio +4
This paper constrains the scattering phase function of water ice clouds (WICs) found within Mars' Aphelion Cloud Belt (ACB), determined from orbit by processing publicly available…
Visibility and Line-Of-Sight Extinction Estimates in Gale Crater during the 2018/MY34 Global Dust Storm
Christina L. Smith, John E. Moores, Mark Lemmon +4
Northern line-of-sight extinction within Gale Crater during the 2018 global dust storm was monitored daily using MSL's Navcam. Additional observations with Mastcam (north) and Navc…
Constraints on Mars Aphelion Cloud Belt Phase Function and Ice Crystal Geometries
Brittney A. Cooper, John E. Moores, Douglas J. Ellison +4
This study constrains the lower bound of the scattering phase function of Martian water ice clouds (WICs) through the implementation of a new observation aboard the Mars Science La…
UV production of methane from surface and sedimenting IDPs on Mars in light of REMS data and with insights for TGO
John E. Moores, Christina L. Smith, Andrew C. Schuerger
This paper refines model predictions for the production of methane from UV-irradiated interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) now that the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS…
Penitentes as the origin of the bladed terrain of Tartarus Dorsa, Pluto
John E. Moores, Christina L. Smith, Anthony Toigo +1
Penitentes are ablative features observed in snow and ice that, on Earth, are characterized by regular cm to tens of cm spaced bowl-shaped depressions whose edges grade into tall s…
Possible ground fog detection from SLI imagery of Titan
Christina L. Smith, Brittney A. Cooper, John E. Moores
Titan, with its thick, nitrogen-dominated atmosphere, has been seen from satellite and terrestrial observations to harbour methane clouds. To investigate whether atmospheric featur…
