Io's Optical Aurorae in Jupiter's Shadow
Carl Schmidt, Mikhail Sharov, Katherine de Kleer +13
Decline and recovery timescales surrounding eclipse are indicative of the controlling physical processes in Io's atmosphere. Recent studies have established that the majority of Io…
Jupiter's Temperature Structure: A Reassessment of the Voyager Radio Occultation Measurements
Pranika Gupta, Sushil K. Atreya, Paul G. Steffes +12
The thermal structure of planetary atmospheres is an essential input for predicting and retrieving the distribution of gases and aerosols, as well as the bulk chemical abundances.…
Extra-Terrestrial Meteors
Apostolos Christou, Jeremie Vaubaillon, Paul Withers +2
All planets and satellites of our solar system are subject to a continuous rain of material, ranging in size from specks of dust to objects the size of boulders. Upon impact, these…
Exoplanet Transits with Next-Generation Radio Telescopes
Benjamin J. S. Pope, Paul Withers, Joseph R. Callingham +1
Nearly everything we know about extrasolar planets to date comes from optical astronomy. While exoplanetary aurorae are predicted to be bright at low radio frequencies (< 1 GHz), w…
Occultations of astrophysical radio sources as probes of planetary environments: A case study of Jupiter and possible applications to exoplanets
Paul Withers, Marissa F. Vogt
Properties of planetary atmospheres, ionospheres, and magnetospheres are difficult to measure from Earth. Radio occultations are a common method for measuring these properties, but…
Radio occultations of the Io plasma torus by Juno are feasible
Phillip H. Phipps, Paul Withers
The flow of material from Io's volcanoes into the Io plasma torus, out into the magnetosphere, and along field lines into Jupiter's upper atmosphere is not adequately understood. T…
Using Satellites to Probe Extrasolar Planet Formation
Paul Withers, Jason W. Barnes
Planetary satellites are an integral part of the heirarchy of planetary systems. Here we make two predictions concerning their formation. First, primordial satellites, which have a…
