The visual spectrum of Jupiter's Great Red Spot accurately modeled with aerosols produced by photolyzed ammonia reacting with acetylene
2019, IcarusCitation Excerpt :A weaker red coloring exists almost everywhere on Jupiter, and Sromovsky et al. (2017) showed that Cassini/VIMS spectra of the North Equatorial Belt, the South Equatorial Belt and the Equatorial Zone can also be well-modeled with the laboratory chromophore of Carlson et al. (2016). Since the early 1990's, several other Jovian vortices have displayed reddish hues as well, including (1) the annulus of White Oval BA, an anticyclonic vortex that formed from the merger of White Ovals BE and FA in 2000 (Sánchez-Lavega et al., 2001) and then turned noticeably red in late 2005 (Simon-Miller et al., 2006), (2) a smaller red anticyclonic oval that formed nearby in the south tropical zone in 2008 (de Pater et al., 2010; Strycker et al., 2011; Sánchez-Lavega et al., 2013), and (3) a distinctively red cyclonic feature that appeared in 1994–1995 between two anticyclonic systems (Simon et al., 2014). The rather dramatic color change in the annulus of Oval BA has been photometrically investigated via Hubble Space Telescope UV-Near-IR filter imagery to characterize the nature of the red chromophore responsible for the change (Pérez-Hoyos et al., 2009; Strycker et al., 2011; Wong et al., 2011; Sánchez-Lavega et al., 2013).
