Comparison of the deep atmospheric dynamics of Jupiter and Saturn in light of the Juno and Cassini gravity measurements

Y Kaspi, E Galanti, AP Showman, DJ Stevenson… - Space Science …, 2020 - Springer
The nature and structure of the observed east-west flows on Jupiter and Saturn have been a
long-standing mystery in planetary science. This mystery has been recently unraveled by the …

How well do we understand the belt/zone circulation of giant planet atmospheres?

LN Fletcher, Y Kaspi, T Guillot, AP Showman - Space Science Reviews, 2020 - Springer
The atmospheres of the four giant planets of our Solar System share a common and well-
observed characteristic: they each display patterns of planetary banding, with regions of …

The distribution of ammonia on Jupiter from a preliminary inversion of Juno microwave radiometer data

C Li, A Ingersoll, M Janssen, S Levin… - Geophysical …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library

Photochemistry in terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres. III. Photochemistry and thermochemistry in thick atmospheres on super Earths and mini Neptunes

R Hu, S Seager - The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Some super Earths and mini Neptunes will likely have thick atmospheres that are not H 2-
dominated. We have developed a photochemistry–thermochemistry kinetic-transport model …

[HTML][HTML] Mid-infrared mapping of Jupiter's temperatures, aerosol opacity and chemical distributions with IRTF/TEXES

LN Fletcher, TK Greathouse, GS Orton, JA Sinclair… - Icarus, 2016 - Elsevier
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 …

Photochemistry and spectral characterization of temperate and gas-rich exoplanets

R Hu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Exoplanets that receive stellar irradiance approximately equal to Earth's or less have been
discovered and many are suitable for spectral characterization. Here, we focus on the …

Phosphine on jupiter and saturn from cassini/cirs

LN Fletcher, GS Orton, NA Teanby, PGJ Irwin - Icarus, 2009 - Elsevier
The global distribution of phosphine (PH3) on Jupiter and Saturn is derived using 2.5 cm− 1
spectral resolution Cassini/CIRS observations. We extend the preliminary PH3 analyses on …

Atmospheric dynamics of brown dwarfs and directly imaged giant planets

AP Showman, Y Kaspi - The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
ABSTRACT A variety of observations provide evidence for vigorous motion in the
atmospheres of brown dwarfs and directly imaged giant planets. Motivated by these …

Unexpected long-term variability in Jupiter's tropospheric temperatures

GS Orton, A Antuñano, LN Fletcher, JA Sinclair… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
