S-L Jupiter encounter, Impact sites A, C, E, and G


The group working at the Wyoming Infrared Observatory acquired Jupiter at 0200 19 July 1994 UTC, and observed the E, A, and C impact sites rotate around the western limb and the G imact site appear over the eastern limb. Data wete taken until about 0500 UTC. Spectral imaging at 1.25, 1.62 to 1.78, 2.0 to 2.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.34, 4.0 microns at 2-3% spectral resolution. About 300 images were taken tonight. Generally the features are all weak in the continuum and bright in various spectral features. Data analysis is in progress. Impact site G was about the size of the red spot.
