Neptune's global circulation deduced from multi-wavelength observations

Journal article

We observed Neptune between June and October 2003 at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths with the 10-m W.M. Keck II and I telescopes, respectively; and at radio wavelengths with the Very Large Array. Images were obtained at near-infrared wavelengths with NIRC2 coupled to the adaptive optics system in both broad- and narrow-band filters between 1.2 and 2.2 μ. In the mid-infrared we imaged Neptune at wavelengths between 8 and 22 μm, and obtained slit-resolved spectra at 8-13 μm and 18-22 μm. At ...
