Carbon Monoxide in Jupiter after Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9
for roughly half the mass. In high-temperature shocks, most of the O is converted to CO (Zahnle and MacLow Observations of the carbon monoxide fundamental vibration–rotation band near 4.7 mm before and after the impacts 1995), making CO one of the more abundant products of of the fragments of Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9 showed no dea large impact. tectable changes in the R5 and R7 lines, with one po...
متن کاملThe formation of HCS and HCSH molecules and their role in the collision of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 with Jupiter.
The reaction of hydrogen sulfide with ground-state atomic carbon was examined with crossed molecular beams experiments and ab initio calculations. The thiohydroxycarbene molecule, HCSH, was the reactive intermediate, which fragmented into atomic hydrogen and the thioformyl radical HCS. This finding may account for the unassigned HCS source and an unidentified HCSH radical needed to match observ...
متن کاملAtmospheric gravity waves from the impact of Shoemaker - Levy 9 with Jupiter comet
We study the effect of the Jovian water cloud on internal gravity waves generated by the impact of comet SL9. Vertical structure follows Voyager data to the 1-bar level, a moist adiabat from 1 to 5 bars, and a dry adiabat below the 5-bar level. The waves are trapped in the moist layer and propagate horizontally. Their speed is related to the vertical integral of the Brunt-V•is•l& frequency, and...
متن کاملTelescope Observations of Comet 9 P / Tempel 1 during the Deep Impact Encounter Paul
We report on the Hubble Space Telescope program to observe periodic comet 9P/Tempel 1 in conjunction with NASA’s Deep Impact mission. Our objectives were to study the generation and evolution of the coma resulting from the impact and to obtain wide-band images of the visual outburst generated by the impact. Two observing campaigns utilizing a total of 17 HST orbits were carried out: the first o...
