Amateur contributions to planetary science (including our publications & EPSC abstracts & Juno abstracts, 2020 onwards)

This page continues our publications list from 2020 onwards.  We will endeavour to post PDFs of our own articles; if you find this has not yet been done, feel free to email the Director to ask if one can be provided.  Unfortunately, most publications in professional journals are blocked by paywalls, but good-quality preprint PDFs may be posted on ArXiv or available from the authors.

ABSTRACTS & TALKS FOR THE EUROPLANET SCIENCE CONGRESS (EPSC)

Abstracts for EPSC, (online, 2021 Sep.):

https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC2021/sessionprogramme

All presentations were given as 10-minute podcasts, uploaded to the EPSC web site.  The abstracts are 2- or 3-page mini-papers.  All abstracts can be found by going to the EPSC pages and selecting sessions on Outer Planets and on Amateur Contributions.  The abstracts posted below are the submitted versions which have better formatting than PDFs obtained online.   Also posted are PDF copies of the slides presented in the talks.  For some talks in the ‘Amateur contributions’ session, including those given by our professional colleagues, Ricardo Hueso has kindly provided direct links to the individual talks themselves; you will need to log in to Vimeo for these.

Pro-Am collaborations (I): Juno’s Extended Mission at Jupiter

In association with the EPSC 2021, there was also a ‘Splinter Workshop’ organised by Ricardo Hueso and colleagues.  This workshop hosted a series of talks and an open discussion with amateur astronomers and participants in the workshop on the Juno mission and the involvement of both amateur astronomers and citizen scientists in the analysis of JunoCam data.  The whole workshop has been posted as a 2-hour Vimeo.  The order of talks, and the URL, are as follows:

* Introduction – Ricardo Hueso
* Juno Extended mission – Shawn Brueshaber
* New JunoCam Views of Jupiter – Candice Hansen
* HST/OPAL observations of Jupiter – Amy A. Simon
* Jupiter atmosphere from 2016 to 2021 – J. H. Rogers
* Jupiter landscapes from Voyager to Juno – Bjorn Johnson
