UVS_JUP_SP_SOL_OCC | The large solar disc and the substantial distance from Jupiter mean that this will not provide the same vertical resolution as stellar occultations, but are useful for measurements of minor/trace constituents due to high S/N. This uses a fixed scan through the Solar Port (SP) at a selected RA and DEC, holding the pointing for an extended amount of time. Note: Here histograms, but pixellist mode possible. | UVS |
UVS_NC_STARE | Characterize the Io/Europa neutral clouds in the immediate vicinity of the satellite. Center satellite in slit. Align the slit with the satellite orbital plane | UVS |
UVS_SAT_DISK_SCAN_AP | Construct spectral image cubes of multiple atmospheric emission line features (up to 1024 selectable spectral bins with a minimum of 3 key emissions: H Lya, OI 130.4 nm, OI 135.6 nm), with repeated scans to investigate highly time-variable auroral dynamics. | UVS |
UVS_SAT_DISK_SCAN_HP | Construct spectral image cubes of multiple atmospheric emission line features (up to 1024 selectable spectral bins with a minimum of 3 key emissions: H Lya, OI 130.4 nm, OI 135.6 nm), with repeated scans to investigate highly time-variable auroral dynamics. | UVS |
UVS_SAT_LIMB_SCAN_AP | Similar to disc scan observations, but holding the pointing relative to the limb during flyby sequences. | UVS |
UVS_SAT_LIMB_SCAN_HP | Similar to disc scan observations, but holding the pointing relative to the limb during flyby sequences. | UVS |
UVS_SAT_LIMB_STARE_AP | Search for faint atmospheric emissions by building signal to noise through long integrations. | UVS |
UVS_SAT_LIMB_STARE_HP | Search for faint atmospheric emissions by building signal to noise through long integrations. | UVS |
UVS_SAT_SOL_OCC | UVS solar port stares at Sun as the satellite occults it. | UVS |
UVS_SAT_STELL_OCC | UVS airglow port stares at a fixed RA and DEC as the satellite occults the star. | UVS |
UVS_SAT_SURF_AP | Pushbroom observations near flyby closest approach to investigate surface composition | UVS |
UVS_SAT_SURF_HP | As UVS_SAT_SURF_AP but using the high resolution port for improved spatial resolution in key surface regions | UVS |
UVS_SAT_TRANSIT | Measure absorption of Jupiter airglow by satellite atmospheres as they transit Jupiter's disk, to constrain satellite atmospheric composition and variability.
Pointing: nadir (Point slit N-S on Jupiter's disk and wait for moon to transit) | UVS |
