The impact of a body of unknown origin with Jupiter in July 2009 produced an intense perturbation of the planet’s atmosphere at the visible cloud levels. The vertical cloud structure was deeply affected by the presence of a strongly absorbing dense aerosol layer that was expanded steadily by advection in the local winds. We observed this phenomenon at high spatial resolution with the Hubble Space...
Mid-infrared 7–20μm imaging of Jupiter from ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT/VISIR) demonstrate that the increased albedo of Jupiter’s South Equatorial Belt (SEB) during the ‘fade’ (whitening) event of 2009–2010 was correlated with changes to atmospheric temperature and aerosol opacity. The opacity of the tropospheric condensation cloud deck at pressures less than 800mbar increased by 80% between May...
