Reflectivity of Venus' dayside disk during the 2020 observation campaign: outcomes and future perspectives
Yeon Joo Lee, Antonio García Muñoz, Atsushi Yamazaki +28
We performed a unique Venus observation campaign to measure the disk brightness of Venus over a broad range of wavelengths in August and September 2020. The primary goal of the cam…
Brightness modulations of our nearest terrestrial planet Venus reveal atmospheric super-rotation rather than surface features
Y. J. Lee, A. García Muñoz, T. Imamura +4
Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting within or near their host stars' habitable zone are potentially apt for life. It has been proposed that time-series measurements of reflected starli…
A Long-lived Sharp Disruption on the Lower Clouds of Venus
J. Peralta, T. Navarro, C. W. Vun +19
Planetary-scale waves are thought to play a role in powering the yet-unexplained atmospheric superrotation of Venus. Puzzlingly, while Kelvin, Rossby and stationary waves manifest…
Planetary-scale variations in winds and UV brightness at the Venusian cloud top: Periodicity and temporal evolution
Masataka Imai, Toru Kouyama, Yukihiro Takahashi +9
Planetary-scale waves at the Venusian cloud-top cause periodic variations in both winds and ultraviolet (UV) brightness. While the wave candidates are the 4-day Kelvin wave and 5-d…
New cloud morphologies discovered on the Venus's night during Akatsuki
J. Peralta, A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. Horinouchi +8
During the years 2016 to 2018, the instruments Akatsuki/IR2 (JAXA) and IRTF/SpeX (NASA) acquired a large set of images at 1.74, 2.26 and 2.32 μm to study the nightside mid-to-lower…
Global structure of thermal tides in the upper cloud layer of Venus revealed by LIR onboard Akatsuki
T. Kouyama, M. Taguchi, T. Fukuhara +11
Longwave Infrared Camera (LIR) onboard Akatsuki first revealed the global structure of the thermal tides in the upper cloud layer of Venus. The data were acquired over three Venusi…
Return to Venus of the Japanese Venus Climate Orbiter AKATSUKI
Masato Nakamura, Yasuhiro Kawakatsu, Chikako Hirose +19
Japanese Venus Climate Orbiter/AKATSUKI was proposed in 2001 with strong support by international Venus science community and approved as an ISAS (The Institute of Space and Astron…
Equatorial jet in the lower to middle cloud layer of Venus revealed by Akatsuki
T. Horinouchi, S. Murakami, T. Satoh +15
The Venusian atmosphere is in a state of superrotation where prevailing westward winds move much faster than the planet's rotation. Venus is covered with thick clouds that extend f…
Stationary waves and slowly moving features in the night upper clouds of Venus
J. Peralta, R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega +9
At the cloud top level of Venus (65-70 km altitude) the atmosphere rotates 60 times faster than the underlying surface, a phenomenon known as superrotation. Whereas on Venus's days…
