Validation of the IPSL Venus GCM Thermal Structure with Venus Express Data
Pietro Scarica, Itziar Garate-Lopez, Sebastien Lebonnois +4
General circulation models (GCMs) are valuable instruments to understand the most peculiar features in the atmospheres of planets and the mechanisms behind their dynamics. Venus ma…
Jupiter Science Enabled by ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
Leigh N. Fletcher, Thibault Cavalié, Davide Grassi +47
ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) will provide a detailed investigation of the Jovian system in the 2030s, combining a suite of state-of-the-art instruments with an orbital…
Evidence for multiple Ferrel-like cells on Jupiter
Keren Duer, Nimrod Gavriel, Eli Galanti +14
Jupiter's atmosphere is dominated by multiple jet streams which are strongly tied to its 3D atmospheric circulation. Lacking a rigid bottom boundary, several models exist for how t…
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…
Ice Giant Systems: The Scientific Potential of Orbital Missions to Uranus and Neptune
Leigh N. Fletcher, Ravit Helled, Elias Roussos +27
Uranus and Neptune, and their diverse satellite and ring systems, represent the least explored environments of our Solar System, and yet may provide the archetype for the most comm…
Atmospheric physics and Atmospheres of Solar-System bodies
Davide Grassi
The physical principles governing the planetary atmospheres are briefly introduced in the first part of this chapter, moving from the examples of Solar System bodies. Namely, the c…
Characterization of dust activity on Mars from MY27 to MY32 by PFS-MEX observations
Paulina Wolkenberg, Marco Giuranna, Davide Grassi +4
We present spatial and temporal distributions of dust on Mars from Ls = 331 in MY26 until Ls = 80 in MY33 retrieved from the measurements taken by the Planetary Fourier Spectromete…
Properties of a Martian local dust storm in Atlantis Chaos from OMEGA/MEX data
F. Oliva, A. Geminale, E. D'Aversa +5
In this study we present the analysis of the dust properties of a local storm imaged in the Atlantis Chaos region on Mars by the OMEGA imaging spectrometer on March 2nd 2005. We us…
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…
The ODINUS Mission Concept - The Scientific Case for a Mission to the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft to Unveil the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
The purpose of this document is to discuss the scientific case of a space mission to the ice giants Uranus and Neptune and their satellite systems and its relevance to advance our…
The Comparative Exploration of the Ice Giant Planets with Twin Spacecraft: Unveiling the History of our Solar System
Diego Turrini, Romolo Politi, Roberto Peron +12
In the course of the selection of the scientific themes for the second and third L-class missions of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program of the European Space Agency, the explorati…
