Jupiter

Jovian occultation of HIP9369 - We have studied near-IR photometric lightcurve measurements of the 1999-Dec-19 Jovian occultation of HIP9369 observed from the IRTF and WIRO. Our analysis includes lightcurve modeling and inversion to evaluate temperature, pressure , and density profiles in the Jovian atmosphere. The goal is a comparison of temperature profiles found inside and outside the Jovian auroral regions.
