Long-Lived In-Situ Solar System Explorer (LLISSE): Potential Contributions to the Next Decade of Solar System Exploration [PDF]
Venus, while having similar size, mass, and location in the solar system to Earth, varies from Earth in many ways and holds many scientific mysteries despite many missions that have focused on it in the past.

Velocities of Venus clouds derived from VIRTIS observations [PDF]
, 2008 Retrograde superrotation is a well known feature of the atmosphere of Venus, with Venus’ cloud tops rotating in only 4.4 days, much faster than the 243-day rotation period of the solid globe.

Necessary Conditions for Earthly Life Floating in the Venusian Atmosphere
GalaxiesMillimeter-waveband spectra of Venus from both the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) seem to indicate there may be evidence (signal-to-noise ratio of about 15σ) of a phosphine absorption-line

The rate of volcanism on Venus [PDF]
The maintenance of the global H2SO4 clouds on Venus requires volcanism to replenish the atmospheric SO2 which is continually being removed from the atmosphere by reaction with calcium minerals on the surface of Venus. The first laboratory measurements of

Characterizing Volcanic Eruptions on Venus: Some Realistic (?) Scenarios [PDF]
, 2011 When Pioneer Venus arrived at Venus in 1978, it detected anomalously high concentrations of SO2 at the top of the troposphere, which subsequently declined over the next five years.

Studies of the chemistry of vibrationally and electronically excited species in planetary upper atmospheres [PDF]
The vibrational distribution of O2(+) in the atmospheres of Venus and Mars was investigated to compare with analogous values in the Earth's atmosphere. The dipole moment of the Z(2) Pi sub u - X(2) Pi sub g transition of O2(+) is calculated as a function

The Astrophysical Journal LettersBecause of its rotation period of 243 days, Venus is considered a slowly rotating planet. However, its persistent superrotating atmospheric jets, which increase in speed from surface to cloud tops, effectively set a faster rotation speed than the surface
