Jupiter: Aerosol Chemistry in the Polar Atmosphere [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2000
Aromatic compounds have been considered a likely candidate for enhanced aerosol formation in the polar region of Jupiter. We develop a new chemical model for aromatic compounds in the Jovian auroral thermosphere/ionosphere. The model is based on a previous model for hydrocarbon chemistry in the Jovian atmosphere and is constrained by observations from ...

Radiation-Hydrodynamics of Hot Jupiter Atmospheres [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
Radiative transfer in planetary atmospheres is usually treated in the static limit, i.e., neglecting atmospheric motions. We argue that hot Jupiter atmospheres, with possibly fast (sonic) wind speeds, may require a more strongly coupled treatment ...

Ohmic Dissipation in the Atmospheres of Hot Jupiters [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
Hot Jupiter atmospheres exhibit fast, weakly-ionized winds. The interaction of these winds with the planetary magnetic field generates drag on the winds and leads to ohmic dissipation of the induced electric currents.

Dynamics of Jupiter’s Atmosphere [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 1998
AbstractResults from the Galileo probe and orbiter are compared with Voyager and ground-based results. The probe made measurements to the 20-bar level, well below the nominal cloud base at 5 bars and well below the level where sunlight is absorbed. The winds increased with depth within the clouds and then remained constant below cloud base.

The Movements of Jupiter's Atmosphere [PDF]

Nature, 1882
The reference to the belts of Jupiter contained in my article on the geological activity of the tides (NATURE, vol. xxv. p. 213), was perhaps superfluous, for the subject is only collaterally connected with the points there under discussion; but as Mr.

Numerical simulations help revealing the dynamics underneath the clouds of Jupiter

Nature Communications, 2020
Since its arrival at Jupiter in 2016, NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been performing high-precision measurement of the gravity and magnetic fields. When combined with numerical simulations, they provide a unique window to the dynamics in the planet’s deep ...

Detection of Rubidium and Samarium in the Atmosphere of the Ultrahot Jupiter MASCARA-4b

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
Ultrahot Jupiters (UHJs) possess the most extreme environments among various types of exoplanets, making them ideal laboratories to study the chemical composition and kinetics properties of exoplanet atmosphere with high-resolution spectroscopy.

CUTE Reveals Escaping Metals in the Upper Atmosphere of the Ultrahot Jupiter WASP-189b

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Ultraviolet observations of ultrahot Jupiters, exoplanets with temperatures over 2000 K, provide us with an opportunity to investigate if and how atmospheric escape shapes their upper atmosphere. Near-ultraviolet transit spectroscopy offers a unique tool

Arbitrary amplitude dust-acoustic waves in Jupiter atmosphere

Results in Physics, 2021
Arbitrary amplitude dust-acoustic solitary waves in a dusty plasma in Jupiter atmosphere are expected to occur for distance greater than 15RJ, where RJis the distance from the center of the Jupiter (RJ= 71398 km).

Motions in Jupiter's Atmosphere [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1974
Recent contributions to the dynamics of Jupiter's atmospheres were reviewed under the following headings: (a) general magnitude of winds and temperature fluctuations; (b) cloud bands and zonal velocity profile (including equatorial jet); (c) transient non-axisymmetric features (spots, and irregular markings); (d) the Great Red Spot.
