Vortices in sinusoidal shear, with applications to Jupiter
… to the kind of dynamics visible on planets like Jupiter, where vortices residing in zonal shear are a common occurrence.

Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres' Jupiter and Thetis
The painting of Jupiter and Thetis was to be Ingres' vindication against previously hostile critics and the ultimate proof of his stature as a history painter. A definitive work in his oeuvre, it synthesizes all the intellectual, stylistic and visual influences to which he had so far been exposed. …

Bulk Properties and Evolution of Jupiter-Family Comet Nuclei
… from photometric time-series observations of Jupiter-family comets (JFCs). A method was developed that allows mutual absolute photometric calibration of data taken at different epochs with different instruments and results in absolute-calibration uncertainty of ∼0.02 mag. The method was …

Ground-based transmission spectroscopy of three inflated Hot Jupiter exoplanets
… spectroscopy by spectrophotometry of three Hot Jupiter exoplanets. When we began the work on this thesis, optical transmission spectra have been available for two exoplanets. Our main goal was to advance the current sample of probed objects to learn by comparative exoplanetology whether certain …

Centaur shapes and the origin of bilobate Jupiter-family comets
The bilobate shape distribution of Jupiter-family comets (JFCs) is of unconstrained origin. One theory is that JFC progenitors become bilobate in the Centaur region, where sublimation of volatiles from object surfaces may spin objects up beyond a critical limit and disrupt them. We examine models …

High resolution Doppler spectroscopy of a transiting ultra-hot Jupiter at optical wavelengths
… huge, high-temperature exoplanets known as hot Jupiters are fascinating laboratories for extreme atmospheric physics, and their size, translucent atmospheres and proximity to their host stars makes them excellent targets for characterisation through transmission spectroscopy. Recently, ultra-hot …

Magnetic Coupling between a “Hot Jupiter” Extrasolar Planet and Its Pre-Main-Sequence Central Star
… central star on a single orbiting "hot Jupiter" planet is calculated. The star's magnetic field is modeled as a dipole magnetic field. The time-dependent stellar radius is calculated for four different stellar mass sizes; <em>2M</em><em>sum </em><em>\.5M</em><em>sum</em> …

Spectral measurements of hydrogen Lyman-alpha in the atmospheres of Venus and Jupiter using a sounding rocket and the Hubble Space Telescope
… in early 2012 from White Sands Missile Range. On Jupiter, the Lyman-alpha emission was observed to better characterize an anomalously bright region near the equator called the Lyman-alpha Bulge. Images and spectra taken by the Hubble Space Telescope while the Bulge was on the limb were analyzed. …

Genetics and genomics studies of rice disease resistance and development of alternative disease management methods for bacterial panicle blight and sheath blight
… diseases. However, a medium-grain cultivar, Jupiter, showed partial resistance to BPB. In order to understand the mechanisms of rice resistance against BPB and SB, rice genetics and genomics studies have been conducted. Alternative methods to suppress BPB and SB were also studied. Broad-sense …

Modeling Ganymede's Interaction with the Jovian Magnetosphere: Ionospheric Outflow and the Juno PJ34 Flyby
… within the “wake” region detected along the Jupiter-averted magnetopause. (b) Ganymede’s pick-up tail leaves a subtle, but clearly discernible imprint in the magnetic field downstream of the moon. (c) Heavy pick-up ions dominate ionospheric outflow and form a tail with steep outer boundaries. …

Density structures in the Jovian magnetosphere
… identifying and examining density structures in Jupiter's magnetosphere. The 110 hours of data used are from a 4-second temporal resolution density data set derived from plasma wave instruments on board both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. One hundred five structures are identified. They are believed to …
