TL;DR: Probing of Hermean exosphere by ultraviolet spectroscopy (PHEBUS) is a double spectrometer for the Extreme Ultraviolet range (55-155 nm) and the Far Ultraviolet (145-315 nm) devoted to the characterization of Mercury's exosphere composition and dynamics, and surface-exosphere connections as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The source region and its characteristic of pulsating aurora based on the Reimei observations
Takanori Nishiyama,Takeshi Sakanoi,Yoshizumi Miyoshi,Yuto Katoh,Kazushi Asamura,S. Okano,Masafumi Hirahara +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a time-of-flight (TOF) analysis for 29 pulsating aurora events was carried out to understand the precise properties of pulsing auroras and the possible generation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brightening event seen in observations of Jupiter’s extended sodium nebula
TL;DR: Jupiter's sodium nebula has been observed to show variations in its brightness due to the volcanic activity on Io as mentioned in this paper, and the brightness increased by three times during this enhancement, while the D-line brightness had been stably faint and dim until January 2015, but it showed a distinct enhancement from February through March 2015.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiscale temporal variations of pulsating auroras: On‐off pulsation and a few Hz modulation
Takanori Nishiyama,Takeshi Sakanoi,Yoshizumi Miyoshi,Donald Hampton,Yuto Katoh,Ryuho Kataoka,S. Okano +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical study on the cross-scale property on the temporal variations of pulsating aurora intensity was conducted on 53 events observed at the Poker Flat Research Range during the period from 1 December 2011 to 1 March 2012.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term variability of Jupiter’s extended sodium nebula
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a wide field filter imager to obtain ground-based optical observations of D 1 and D 2 line emissions from Jupiter's sodium nebula, which extend over several hundreds of jovian radii, from May 19 to June 21, 2007.
