Refining Saturn's deuterium-hydrogen ratio via IRTF/TEXES spectroscopy

James S. D. Blake, Leigh N. Fletcher, Thomas K. Greathouse +7

The abundance of deuterium in giant planet atmospheres provides constraints on the reservoirs of ices incorporated into these worlds during their formation and evolution. Motivated…

Meridional variations of CH in Jupiter's stratosphere from Juno UVS observations

Rohini S. Giles, Thomas K. Greathouse, Vincent Hue +10

The UVS instrument on the Juno mission records far-ultraviolet reflected sunlight from Jupiter. These spectra are sensitive to the abundances of chemical species in the upper atmos…

Jupiter in the ultraviolet: acetylene and ethane abundances in the stratosphere of Jupiter from Cassini observations between 0.15 and 0.19 m

Henrik Melin, Leigh N. Fletcher, Pat G. J. Irwin +1

At wavelengths between 0.15 and 0.19 m, the far-ultraviolet spectrum of Jupiter is dominated by the scattered solar spectrum, attenuated by molecular absorptions primarily by ac…

Ice Giant Systems: The Scientific Potential of Orbital Missions to Uranus and Neptune

Leigh N. Fletcher, Ravit Helled, Elias Roussos +27

Uranus and Neptune, and their diverse satellite and ring systems, represent the least explored environments of our Solar System, and yet may provide the archetype for the most comm…

Jupiter's Atmospheric Variability from Long-Term Ground-based Observations at 5 microns

Arrate Antuñano, Leigh N. Fletcher, Glenn S. Orton +7

Jupiter's banded structure undergoes strong temporal variations, changing the visible and infrared appearance of the belts and zones in a complex and turbulent way due to physical…
