Examples of an integrated spectra and correlation analysis of water hot-band lines resulting from observations of Europa on 12:20 (UT) 17 July 2021. The red, green, and blue lines correspond to the expected wavelengths of 29567.4, 29463.1, and 29417.2 Å for Europa’s hot-band lines, respectively. The grey shaded area shows ±3σ uncertainties. 1σ error levels are determined based on the variance at the same wavelength within 3 or 4 co-added spectra of close observational periods. -- astro-ph.EP

A Search For Water Vapor Plumes On Europa By spatially Resolved Spectroscopic Observation Using Subaru/IRCS

by Keith CowingOctober 2, 2024October 2, 2024

We present near-infrared high-dispersion spectroscopic observations of Europa using the Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (IRCS) onboard the Subaru Telescope, seeking direct evidence of water plumes on Europa and exploring spatial […]
