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…
Amateur Observers Witness the Return of Venus' Cloud Discontinuity
Kardasis E., Peralta J., Maravelias G. +13
Firstly identified in images from JAXA's orbiter Akatsuki, the cloud discontinuity of Venus is a planetary-scale phenomenon known to be recurrent since, at least, the 1980s. Interp…
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…
Morphology and dynamics of Venus's middle clouds with Akatsuki/IR1
J. Peralta, N. Iwagami, Sánchez-Lavega +8
The Venusian atmosphere is covered by clouds with super-rotating winds whose accelerating mechanism is still not well understood. The fastest winds, occurring at the cloud tops ($\…
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…
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…
Overview of Saturn lightning observations
G. Fischer, U. A. Dyudina, W. S. Kurth +8
The lightning activity in Saturn's atmosphere has been monitored by Cassini for more than six years. The continuous observations of the radio signatures called SEDs (Saturn Electro…
First Earth-based Detection of a Superbolide on Jupiter
R. Hueso, A. Wesley, C. Go +14
Cosmic collisions on planets cause detectable optical flashes that range from terrestrial shooting stars to bright fireballs. On June 3, 2010 a bolide in Jupiter's atmosphere was s…
The impact of a large object with Jupiter in July 2009
A. Sánchez-Lavega, A. Wesley, G. Orton +13
On 2009 July 19, we observed a single, large impact on Jupiter at a planetocentric latitude of 55^{\circ}S. This and the Shoemaker-Levy 9 (SL9) impacts on Jupiter in 1994 are the o…
