Discovery of X–rays from Venus with Chandra

On January 10 and 13, 2001, Venus was observed for the first time with an X–ray astronomy satellite. The observation, performed with the ACIS–I and LETG/ACIS–S instruments on Chandra, yielded data of high spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution. Venus is clearly detected as a half–lit crescent, with considerable brightening on the sunward limb. The morphology agrees well with that expected f...

A Hybrid Fluid/kinetic Model of Pluto’s Upper Thermosphere

Introduction New spacecraft exploring the planets and moons of our solar system have greatly increased interest in atmospheric escape from planetary bodies. The Cassini spacecraft is currently improving our understanding of the atmospheres of the moons of Saturn. While in 2015 the New Horizons spacecraft will have a close flyby encounter with Pluto and the Maven mission will orbit Mars studying...

The Solar Wind Interaction with Venus and Mars: Energetic Neutral Atom and X-ray Imaging

At the non-magnetized planets Venus and Mars, the solar wind comes in direct contact with the planets’ neutrals. This interaction produces energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) and X-rays. In this paper we review some of the different production mechanisms and present examples of simulated ENA and X-ray images. To extract as much information as possible about the ion and neutral distributions in the o...

New Constraints on Additional Satellites of the Pluto System

Observations of Pluto and its solar-tidal stability zone were made using the Advanced Camera for Surveys’ (ACS) Wide Field Channel (WFC) on the Hubble Space Telescope on UT 2005 May 15 and UT 2005 May 18. Two small satellites of Pluto, provisionally designated S/2005 P 1 and S/2005 P 2, were discovered, as discussed by Weaver et al. (2006) and Stern et al. (2006a). Confirming observations of th...
