The long-term steady motion of Saturn's Hexagon and the stability of its enclosed jet-stream under seasonal changes

A. Sánchez-Lavega, T. del Río-Gaztelurrutia, R. Hueso +15

We investigate the long-term motion of Saturn's North-Pole Hexagon and the structure of its associated eastward jet, using Cassini ISS and ground-based images from 2008 to 2014. We…

An Enduring Rapidly Moving Storm as a Guide to Saturn's Equatorial Jet's Complex Structure

A. Sánchez-Lavega, E. García-Melendo, S. Perez-Hoyos +14

Saturn has an intense and broad eastward equatorial jet with a complex three-dimensional structure mixed with time variability. The equatorial region experiences strong seasonal in…

Drift Rates of Major Neptunian Features between 2018 and 2021

Erandi Chavez, Erin Redwing, Imke de Pater +13

Using near-infrared observations of Neptune from the Keck and Lick Observatories, and the Hubble Space Telescope in combination with amateur datasets, we calculated the drift rates…

Constraints on the structure and seasonal variations of Triton's atmosphere from the 5 October 2017 stellar occultation and previous observations

J. Marques Oliveira, B. Sicardy, A. R. Gomes-Júnior +234

A stellar occultation by Neptune's main satellite, Triton, was observed on 5 October 2017 from Europe, North Africa, and the USA. We derived 90 light curves from this event, 42 of…

Jupiter's third largest and longest-lived oval: Color changes and dynamics

N. Barrado-Izagirre, J. Legarreta, A. Sánchez-Lavega +7

The transition region between the North Equatorial Band (NEBn) and North Tropical Zone (NTrZ) in Jupiter is home to convective storms, systems of cyclones and anticyclones and atmo…

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…

Saturn atmospheric dynamics one year after Cassini: Long-lived features and time variations in the drift of the Hexagon

R. Hueso, A. Sánchez-Lavega, J. F. Rojas +15

We examine Saturn's atmosphere with observations from ground-based telescopes and Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We present a detailed analysis of observations acquired during 2018.…

Small impacts on the giant planet Jupiter

R. Hueso, M. Delcroix, A. Sánchez-Lavega +8

Video observations of Jupiter obtained by amateur astronomers over the past eight years have shown five flashes of light of 1-2 s. The first three of these events occurred on 3 Jun…

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…

The Planetary Virtual Observatory and Laboratory (PVOL) and its integration into the Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access (VESPA)

R. Hueso, J. Juaristi, J. Legarreta +5

Since 2003 the Planetary Virtual Observatory and Laboratory (PVOL) has been storing and serving publicly through its web site a large database of amateur observations of the Giant…

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…
