The exploration of carbon-to-oxygen ratios has yielded intriguing insights into the
composition of close-in giant exoplanets, giving rise to a distinct classification: carbon-rich …

We review the expanding, internet-enabled, and rapidly evolving field of citizen astronomy,
focusing on research projects in stellar, extragalactic, and planetary science that have …

Global maps of Jupiter's atmospheric temperatures, gaseous composition and aerosol
opacity are derived from a programme of 5–20 µm mid-infrared spectroscopic observations …

We present five epochs of WFC3 HST Jupiter observations taken between 2009–2016 and
extract global zonal wind profiles for each epoch. Jupiter's zonal wind field is globally stable …

Sciences Volume 66 Issue 3 (2009) Jump to Content Jump to Main Navigation Logo Logo Logo …

This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous
planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The current theories of their formation are …

We survey the basic principles of atmospheric dynamics relevant to explaining existing and
future observations of exoplanets, both gas giant and terrestrial. Given the paucity of data on …

Convective storms occur regularly in Saturn's atmosphere,,,. Huge storms known as Great
White Spots, which are ten times larger than the regular storms, are rarer and occur about …

Observations of Jupiter's deep atmosphere by the Juno spacecraft have revealed several
puzzling facts: The concentration of ammonia is variable down to pressures of tens of bars …

Juno microwave radiometer (MWR) observations of Jupiter's midlatitudes reveal a strong
correlation between brightness temperature contrasts and zonal winds, confirming that the …
