The APIS service provides access to UV spectro-imaging auroral observations of solar system planets and moons.
News
Summer release
30 Jun 2015
Addition of two recent observational campaigns :
– Saturn, Feb.-Jun. 2014 (STIS, 45 images)
– Ganymede, Jan.-Feb. 2014 (STIS, 8 spectra)
Updates
20 May 2015
Addition of four datasets :
– Europa, Nov.-Dec. 2012 (STIS, 19 spectra)
– Jupiter, Nov. 2012-Jan. 2014 (STIS, 19 images, 2 spectra)
– Jupiter, Jan. 2014 (STIS, 27 images, 14 spectra)
– Jupiter, Jan.-Mar. 2014 (STIS, 4 long exposure spectra)
Addition of Jupiter cylindrical/polar projections for the periods :
– 2012-2014
– 2009 (3 long exposure time-tagged images, each sequenced into 100s long sub-exposures)
– 2000-2001 (Jupiter flyby by the Cassini spacecraft)
Completion of previous STIS datasets (Jupiter, Saturn<2003) : for each STIS observation made of several sub-exposures, all the sub-exposures and the sum of them are now available separately, similarly to ACS data.
