• 2004/10/25 Cassini-support images of Saturn.
  Padma Yamanadra-Fisher, and Glenn Orton (JPL) are scheduled to take Cassini-support images of Saturn in the middle-infrared (7-25 microns) and spectra in the near-infrared (1-5 microns) in the last week of October, 2-8 am (yes, in IR they can observe just after sunrise!). CCD imaging will be useful for comparisons at this time.

   There will be coordinated observations by Cassini of the solar
wind approaching Jupiter in Dec. 2000 while HST makes observations
of the UV aurora.  Next, in Jan. 2001 Cassini will observe the
night side aurora while HST observes the day side.

   We have been granted 35 orbits for this program on HST, which is
an unusually large program.  This means that we will have a great
chance to study Jupiter next winter, and also that we are unlikely
to obtain a lot of time in the near future after this.  For both
reasons, I strongly encourage all other observers of Jupiter to
join us in this campaign of observations.

   Here are the requested observing times for this campaign:


Observations prior to closest approach
        Cassini solar wind times                HST observing times
1.      Day 344 19UT - Day 345 19UT             Day 345 11-19 UT
2.      Day 348 19UT - Day 349 19UT             Day 349 11-19 UT
3.      Day 350 19UT - Day 351 19UT             Day 351 11-19 UT
4.      Day 352 19UT - Day 353 19UT             Day 353 11-19 UT

Observations with Cassini ORS after closest approach
        Cassini ORS observing time              HST observing time
1.      CA+9d 6UT - CA+10d 2UT                  CA+9d 11-19 UT
2.      CA+14d 6UT - CA+15d 2UT                 CA+14d 11-19 UT
3.      CA+21d 6UT - CA+22d 2UT                 CA+21d 11-19 UT

Notes:

- HST dates in Dec. 2000 are 10, 14, 16, 18 Dec.

- HST dates in Jan. 2001 are 8,13,20 Jan.

- CA = 30 Dec. 2000

Best regards,  John
