(FOR OUR INVOLVEMENT WITH THE JUNO MISSION, PLEASE SEE THE ‘RESULTS FROM JUNO’ PAGES AND SECTION NEWS ITEMS, AS WELL AS ABSTRACTS AND TALKS LISTED BELOW.)

(1)  FULL PAPERS FROM COLLABORATIONS & IN JBAA, 2016-2017

Here is a list of full-length papers published in 2016-2017 by BAA Jupiter Section members in the JBAA or in professional journals in ‘pro-am’ collaborations.  They include definitive accounts of classic cycles in the SEB (SEB Fades and Revivals), NEB (NEB expansion events), and NTB (NTBs jet outbreaks/revivals).  A PDF of abstracts, and links to some of the preprints online, are also provided.  Our thanks to the many professional scientists with whom we have been privileged to collaborate.

(2)  PRESENTATIONS AT EPSC, 2015:

On 2015 Oct.1 at the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC), in Nantes, France, there was a session on:
‘Amateur contribution to planetary and exoplanet science’, with several contributions relevant to the Jupiter Section.
The talks and the summaries have all been posted by the convenor, Marc Delcroix, free for anyone to download, at:

http://www.astrosurf.com/delcroix/doc/EPSC2015/EPSC2015.htm

Most important is:

‘How Amateur Astronomers Can Support the Juno Mission’ by Marc Delcroix and Glenn Orton

–this describes how amateur images of Jupiter will be received and used by NASA during the Juno mission in 2016-2017.

Another talk posted there is:

‘Circulation of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot measured from amateur and Hubble images’  by John Rogers and Michel Jacquesson

–summarising our work on the shrinking GRS and its accelerating circulation over the last few years.  Here is the abstract:  EPSC_authortemplate_MJ-JHR_final.pdf

&

Our poster on the NEB and White Spot Z was as follows:

‘The major circulations in Jupiter’s North Tropical domain’ by JHR & the JUPOS team. Here is the abstract:   EPSC_authortemplate_NEB_final.pdf

(3)  PRESENTATIONS AT EPSC, 2017:

In 2017 Sep., at the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC), in Riga, Latvia, there were two sessions on amateur-professional collaborations in planetary science, including one devoted to Jupiter and the Juno mission.  The talks and the summaries have all been posted by the convenor, Marc Delcroix, free for anyone to download, at:

http://astrosurf.com/delcroix/doc/EPSC2017/EPSC2017.htm

Here are two abstracts for presentations by John Rogers with the JunoCam team:

‘The 2016 outbreak on Jupiter’s North Temperate Belt and jet from ground-based and Juno imaging.’ (poster in OPS3):   EPSC-2017_Rogers_NTBO_final.pdf

‘Predictive maps for Juno perijoves and identification of significant features.’ (talk in AM1):  EPSC_2017_Rogers_Amateurs&Juno_final.pdf

(4)  PRESENTATIONS AT EPSC, 2018:

In 2018 Sep., at the European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) in Berlin, there were two sessions on Juno and Jupiter, one professional and one of amateur-professional collaborations.  Here are the abstracts of two talks given by John Rogers with the JunoCam team:

‘Jupiter’s high-latitude hazes as mapped by JunoCam.’   EPSC abstracts vol.12, no.559.    EPSC2018-559_JHR_PolarHazes.pdf

‘The new South Tropical Disturbance and its interaction with the Great Red Spot.’   EPSC abstracts vol.12, no.562.    EPSC2018-562_JHR_STropD.pdf

The talks and the summaries from the ‘pro-am’ session have all been posted by the convenor, Marc Delcroix, free for anyone to download, at:

(5)  PRESENTATIONS AT EPSC-DPS, 2019:

The annual planetary congresses of Europe (EPSC) and America (DPS) were combined in Geneva from 2019 Sep.15-20, with extensive sessions on Jupiter and Juno, both professional and amateur.  Our contributions are posted in a separate page here:

(6)  PRESENTATIONS AT EPSC, 2020:

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, EPSC 2020 was held entirely on-line; all presentations were in the form of podcasts.  The abstracts for all the sessions can be found on the EPSC 2020 web pages at:  https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/epsc2020/sessionprogramme

(Select OPS1 for Jupiter and Juno, and ODAA3 for professional-amateur collaborations.)   Here are our own abstracts:

Clyde Foster et al., ‘A rare methane-bright outbreak in Jupiter’s South Temperate domain’:  EPSC 2020 Clyde_Abstract final.pdf

John Rogers et al., ‘Jupiter’s south polar region (~60-80ºS): Wind patterns from JunoCam maps’ & ‘Jupiter’s south polar region (~60-75ºS): Medium-term flow patterns from amateur and JunoCam maps’: EPSC-2020-abstracts_JHR-SPR_final.pdf 

There was also a “Splinter workshop:  Juno Ground-based Support from Amateurs”.  This featured talks by (in order of presentation) Ricardo Hueso, Chris Go, John Rogers, Glenn Orton (Juno team), Candice Hansen (Juno team), Kevin Gill, & Arrate Antunano.  All the talks given in this session can be watched in a 2-hour vimeo at: https://vimeo.com/460930333
