Persistence of Asteroids After a Close Encounter
1999
We present here a first approximation to the planar circular restricted 2 + 2 problem. In this four body problem, we consider that the two secondaries do not affect the primaries but they do influence each other. It can be seen as a model for near collision orbits of two asteroids if the primaries are the Sun and Jupiter ([3], [5]). In particular, we analyze the values of the Jacobi constant of the two asteroids before and after the close approach.
The 90-day oscillations of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot revisited
2000
Abstract We have analyzed a large set of ground-based CCD images covering the period from 1993 to early 1999, to address the current status and behavior of the 90-day longitudinal oscillations of the Jovian Great Red Spot (GRS). The good temporal sampling of these data have been complemented with a small set of high resolution Hubble Space Telescope images. The average zonal velocity of the GRS from 1994 to 1998 was −3.8 ms−1 with extreme values of −2.4 and −4.2 ms−1 in 1993–1994 resulting from the interactions with nearby features. Our study confirms the existence of the longitudinal oscillations with a mean period of 89.8±0.15 days and an amplitude of 1.2±0.7°. The oscillations survived t…

Comparison of line-by-line and band models of near-IR methane absorption applied to outer planet atmospheres
2012
Import OPTIWOS; International audience; Recent improvements in high spectral resolution measurements of methane absorption at wavenumbers between 4800 cm(-1) and 7919 cm(-1) have greatly increased the number of lines with known lower state energies, the number of weak lines, and the number of lines observed at low temperatures (Campargue, A., Wang, L, Kassi, S., Masat, M., Votava, O.

Life in the Solar System?
2010
Europa, the smallest of the four moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo Galilei, has attracted much speculation on whether it might be inhabited ever since it was observed by the Voyager probes. This is mostly due to the fact that water, or better said, water-ice, is the most evident feature of that world, with ice covering this interesting satellite completely, turning it into a smooth white ball.
