First Ground-Based Adaptive Optics Observations of Neptune and Proteus
High angular resolution (0.15”) K-band images of Neptune were obtained in August 1995, with the University-of-Hawaii adaptive optics system mounted on the 3.6-m Canada-France-Hawaii telescope. The images show bright high contrast features that are believed to be high altitude clouds. They confirm that low latitude (< 30 ̊) cloud activity has shifted since Voyager from the south hemisphere to the...
متن کاملWater vapor map of Mars near summer solstice using ground-based infrared spectroscopy
Ground-based spatial mapping of Mars provides a unique way to retrieve the global distribution of minor atmospheric species and to study transient phenomena or possible variations with the local hour. We have obtained an instantaneous map of water vapor on Mars near summer solstice (Ls = 80◦) using the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TEXES) at the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRT...

متن کاملMeridional variations of temperature, C2H2 and C2H6 abundances in Saturn’s stratosphere at southern summer solstice
Measurements of the vertical and latitudinal variations of temperature and C2H2 and C2H6 abundances in the stratosphere of Saturn can be used as stringent constraints on seasonal climate models, photochemical models, and dynamics. The summertime photochemical loss timescale for C2H6 in Saturn’s middle and lower stratosphere (∼40–10,000 years, depending on altitude and latitude) is much greater ...
متن کاملCloud Phase Determination Using Ground-Based AERI Observations at SHEBA
A new technique for ascertaining the thermodynamic cloud phase from high-spectral-resolution ground-based infrared measurements made by the Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) is presented. This technique takes advantage of the differences in the index of refraction of ice and water between 11 and 19 mm. The differences in the refractive indices translate into differences in clou...
