Spatiotemporal Variations of Temperature in Jupiter's Upper Atmosphere

Kate Roberts, Luke Moore, James O'Donoghue +5

Global temperatures in Jupiter's upper atmosphere are poorly constrained. Other than an in situ measurement by the Galileo Probe, all temperature data come from remote sensing meth…

ExoMol line lists -- XL. Ro-vibrational molecular line list for the hydronium ion (HO)

S. N. Yurchenko, Jonathan Tennyson, Steve Miller +3

A new line list for hydronium (HO) is computed. The line list is based on a new ab initio dipole moment surface (CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVQZ) and a new empirical potential e…

Modelling H in planetary atmospheres: effects of vertical gradients on observed quantities

L. Moore, H. Melin, J. O'Donoghue +5

Since its discovery in the aurorae of Jupiter ~30 years ago, the H ion has served as an invaluable probe of giant planet upper atmospheres. However, the vast majority of…

The quest for H at Neptune: deep burn observations with NASA IRTF iSHELL

H. Melin, L. N. Fletcher, T. S. Stallard +4

Emission from the molecular ion H is a powerful diagnostic of the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus, but it remains undetected at Neptune. In search of this emi…

Saturn's Ionosphere

Luke Moore, Marina Galand, Arvydas J. Kliore +2

This chapter summarizes our current understanding of the ionosphere of Saturn. We give an overview of Saturn ionospheric science from the Voyager era to the present, with a focus o…

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…

Conjugate observations of Saturn's northern and southern H3+ aurorae

James O'Donoghue, Tom S. Stallard, Henrik Melin +7

We present an analysis of recent high spatial and spectral resolution ground-based infrared observations of H3+ spectra obtained with the 10-metre Keck II telescope in April 2011.…

The domination of Saturn's low latitude ionosphere by ring `rain'

J. O'Donoghue, T. S. Stallard, H. Melin +5

Saturn's ionosphere is produced when the otherwise neutral atmosphere is exposed to a flow of energetic charged particles or solar radiation. At low latitudes the latter should res…
