The Great Cold Spot in Jupiter's upper atmosphere
Past observations and modeling of Jupiter's thermosphere have, due to their limited resolution, suggested that heat generated by the aurora near the poles results in a smooth thermal gradient away from these aurorae, indicating a quiescent and diffuse flow of energy within the subauroral thermosphere. Here we discuss Very Large Telescope-Cryogenic High-Resolution IR Echelle Spectrometer observa...
متن کاملSputtering and heating of Titan's upper atmosphere.
Titan is an important endpoint for understanding atmospheric evolution. Prior to Cassini's arrival at Saturn, modelling based on Voyager data indicated that the hydrogen escape rate was large (1-3x1028amus-1), but the escape rates for carbon and nitrogen species were relatively small (5x1026amus-1) and dominated by atmospheric sputtering. Recent analysis of the structure of Titan's thermosphere...
متن کاملDramatic Change in Jupiter ’ s Great Red Spot
Introduction: Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (GRS) is one of its most distinct and enduring features, having been continuously observed since the 1800’s. It currently spans the smallest latitude and longitude size ever recorded. Here we show analyses of 2014 Hubble spectral imaging data to study the color, structure and internal dynamics of this long-live storm. Physical Dimensions: The GRS’s red edg...
متن کامل1 Adam Jermyn - Tidal Heating of Hot Jupiters
1 Adam Jermyn Tidal Heating of Hot Jupiters Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered in recent years, and many of them bear little resemblance to planets in our own system. Probably the most strikingly different are socalled hot Jupiters, which are Jupiter-mass planets orbiting very close to the host star, such that radiation from the star heats the tops of their atmospheres. Some of the ho...
متن کاملFrictional and radiation heating of micron-sized meteoroids in the Earth’s upper atmosphere
This paper follows on from earlier work presented on the dynamics of micron-sized meteoroid particles, as they are decelerated in the Earth’s atmosphere at heights of 100 km or greater. Here the heating effects on these meteoroids are examined; both the intense heating during deceleration and the temperatures reached by particles settling through the atmosphere with low speeds ∼cm s−1 are consi...
