Multilayer hazes over Saturn's hexagon from Cassini ISS limb images
A. Sánchez-Lavega, A. García-Muñoz, T. del Río-Gaztelurrutia +5
In June 2015, Cassini high-resolution images of Saturn's limb southwards of the planet's hexagonal wave revealed a system of at least six stacked haze layers above the upper cloud…
Latitudinal variations in methane abundance, aerosol opacity and aerosol scattering efficiency in Neptune's atmosphere determined from VLT/MUSE
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Jack Dobinson, Arjuna James +11
Spectral observations of Neptune made in 2019 with the MUSE instrument at the Very Large Telescope in Chile have been analysed to determine the spatial variation of aerosol scatter…
Spectral determination of the colour and vertical structure of dark spots in Neptune's atmosphere
Patrick G. J. Irwin, Jack Dobinson, Arjuna James. Michael H. Wong +12
Previous observations of dark vortices in Neptune's atmosphere, such as Voyager-2's Great Dark Spot, have been made in only a few, broad-wavelength channels, which has hampered eff…
Ariel: Enabling planetary science across light-years
Giovanna Tinetti, Paul Eccleston, Carole Haswell +313
Ariel, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was adopted as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to be launched in 2029. Durin…
Dust particle size, shape, and optical depth during the 2018/MY34 Martian Global Dust Storm retrieved by MSL Curiosity rover navigation cameras
Hao Chen-Chen, Santiago Perez-Hoyos, Agustin Sanchez-Lavega
Martian planet-encircling dust storms or global dust storms (GDS), resulting from the combined influence of local and regional storms, are uncommon aperiodic phenomena: with an ave…
The size, shape, density and ring of the dwarf planet Haumea from a stellar occultation
J. L. Ortiz, P. Santos-Sanz, B. Sicardy +90
Among the four known transneptunian dwarf planets, Haumea is an exotic, very elongated, and fast rotating body. In contrast to the other dwarf planets, its size, shape, albedo, and…
Observations and numerical modelling of a convective disturbance in a large-scale cyclone in Jupiter's South Temperate Belt
P. Iñurrigarro, R. Hueso, J. Legarreta +8
Moist convective storms in Jupiter develop frequently and can trigger atmospheric activity of different scales, from localized storms to planetary-scale disturbances including conv…
Long-term variations of Venus' 365-nm albedo observed by Venus Express, Akatsuki, MESSENGER, and Hubble Space Telescope
Yeon Joo Lee, Kandis-Lea Jessup, Santiago Perez-Hoyos +16
An unknown absorber near the cloud top level of Venus generates a broad absorption feature from the ultraviolet (UV) to visible, peaking around 360 nm, and therefore plays a critic…
Characterisation of Martian dust aerosol phase function from sky radiance measurements by MSL engineering cameras
H. Chen-Chen, S. Perez-Hoyos, A. Sanchez-Lavega
Dust is the main driver of Mars' atmospheric variability. The determination of Martian dust aerosol properties is of high relevance for radiative modelling and calculating its weat…
Dust particle size and optical depth on Mars retrieved by the MSL Navigation Cameras
H. Chen-Chen, S. Perez-Hoyos, A. Sanchez-Lavega
In this paper we show that Sun-viewing images obtained by the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Navigation Cameras (Navcam) can be used for retrieving the dust optical depth and constr…
Venus upper clouds and the UV-absorber from MESSENGER/MASCS observations
S. Perez-Hoyos, A. Sanchez-Lavega, A. Garcıa-Munoz +5
One of the most intriguing, long-standing questions regarding Venus' atmosphere is the origin and distribution of the unknown UV-absorber, responsible for the absorption band detec…
Temporal and spatial variations of the absolute reflectivity of Jupiter and Saturn from 0.38 to 1.7 m with PlanetCam-UPV/EHU
I. Mendikoa, A. Sánchez-Lavega, S. Pérez-Hoyos +3
We provide measurements of the absolute reflectivity of Jupiter and Saturn along their central meridians in filters covering a wide range of visible and near-infrared wavelengths (…
Neptune long-lived atmospheric features in 2013-2015 from small (28-cm) to large (10-m) telescopes
R. Hueso, I. de Pater, A. Simon +32
Since 2013, observations of Neptune with small telescopes have resulted in several detections of long-lived bright atmospheric features that have also been observed by large telesc…
Venus cloud morphology and motions from ground-based images at the time of the Akatsuki orbit insertion
A. Sánchez-Lavega, J. Peralta, J. M. Gómez-Forrellad +7
We report Venus image observations around the two maximum elongations of the planet at June and October 2015. From these images we describe the global atmospheric dynamics and clou…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
Glory revealed in disk-integrated photometry of Venus
A. García Muñoz, S. Pérez-Hoyos, A. Sánchez-Lavega
Context. Reflected light from a spatially unresolved planet yields unique insight into the overall optical properties of the planet cover. Glories are optical phenomena caused by l…
