Cloud clearing in the wake of Saturn's Great Storm of 2010-2011 and suggested new constraints on Saturn's He/H₂ ratio

Baines, K. H.; Sromovsky, L. A.; Momary, T. W. +1 more

Saturn's Great Storm of 2010-2011 produced a planet-encircling wake that slowly transitioned from a region that was mainly dark at 5 µm in February 2011 to a region that was almost entirely bright and remarkably uniform by December of 2012. The uniformity and high emission levels suggested that the entire wake region had been cleared not onl…

The 6-7 µm spectrum of Titan from ISO/SWS observations

Lellouch, Emmanuel; Feuchtgruber, Helmut; Courtin, Régis +1 more

We have analyzed spectroscopic observations of Titan performed in January 1997 by the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) on the Infrared Space Observatory in the wavelength range from 5.3 to 7.0 µm (1422-1890 cm^-1). This spectral interval is of particular interest because it contains various molecular transitions, particularly th…
