Constraints on Europa’s Water Group Torus from HST/COS Observations
In situ plasma measurements as well as remote mapping of energetic neutral atoms around Jupiter provide indirect evidence that an enhancement of neutral gas is present near the orbit of the moon Europa.

New Constraints on the Composition of Jupiter from Galileo Measurements and Interior Models [PDF]
Using the helium abundance measured by Galileo in the atmosphere of Jupiter and interior models reproducing the observed external gravitational field, we derive new constraints on the composition and structure of the planet.

Atmospheric Circulation of Hot Jupiters [PDF]
About 40% of the extrasolar giant planets discovered so far have orbital distances smaller than 0.2 AU. These “hot Jupiters” are expected to be in synchronous rotation with their star. The ability to measure their radii prompts a careful reexamination of their structure. I show that their atmospheric structure is complex and that thermal balance cannot

Enrichment of Jupiter’s Atmosphere by Late Planetesimal Bombardment [PDF]
Abstract Jupiter’s atmosphere is enriched with heavy elements by a factor of about 3 compared to a protosolar composition. The origin of this enrichment and whether it represents the bulk composition of the planetary envelope remain unknown.

X-Ray Emission from Jupiter, Saturn, and Earth: A Short Review [PDF]
Jupiter, Saturn, and Earth - the three planets having dense atmosphere and a well developed magnetosphere - are known to emit X-rays. Recently, Chandra X-ray Observatory has observed X-rays from these planets, and XMM-Newton has observed them from ...

The NIR transmission spectrum of Jupiter from the observation of a Ganymede’s eclipse
Here, we report the NIR transmission spectrum of Jupiter, with high signal-to-noise ratio, as if it were a transiting planet. Our technique was to observe Ganymede, when crossing Jupiter’s shadow.

Saturn's Exploration Beyond Cassini-Huygens [PDF]
For its beautiful rings, active atmosphere and mysterious magnetic field, Saturn is a fascinating planet. It also holds some of the keys to understanding the formation of our Solar System and the evolution of giant planets in general.

Research on Jupiter's magnetic field: Review and prospect
The internal structure and dynamics of different planets are different, so some planets have an intrinsic magnetic field, and some have not yet found an intrinsic magnetic field.

Detection of CO in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HD 189733b
With time-series spectroscopic observations taken with the Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRSPEC) at Keck II, we investigated the atmosphere of the close orbiting transiting extrasolar giant planet, HD 189733b.

Enhancement of deuterated ethane on Jupiter [PDF]
We report laboratory measurements of cross sections of CH_3D and C_2H_5D in the extreme ultraviolet. The results are incorporated in a photochemical model for the deuterated hydrocarbons up to C_2 in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, taking into account ...
