Jupiter’s aurora and Io’s volcano / Development of Planetary high-resolution Echelle spectrograph

This post is also available in: Japanese

We are developing a near-infrared camera (TOPICS) and a high-dispersion Echelle spectrograph (wavelength resolution ~20,000) for near-infrared observations installed on the Haleakala T60 telescope. These near-infrared observations will enable the observations of Jupiter’s infrared auroras and volcanic activity on Io. By combining these observations with visible observation of the T60 telescope, we aim to elucidate the material and energy transport mechanisms within the Jupiter’s magnetosphere.
