1 STCE WorkshopROB, May 4 (2012) - 1 The Venus Transit and other associated activities at IASB-BIRA A.C. Vandaele S. Delanoye, R. Drummond, S. Fratta, A. Mahieux, E. Neefs, B. Ristic, S. Robert, T. Somers, V. Wilquet

2 STCE WorkshopROB, May 4 (2012) - 2 Outreach activities  Website : http://venus.aeronomie.be/en/transit/http://venus.aeronomie.be/en/transit/  Each Friday, a new topic is treated  In En, Fr, Ndls  Articles, interviews, glossary, …  Observation from Svalbard (Norway, 78°N)  Organized by ESA (Venus Express)  Obs. during the complete transit (4 contacts)  Linked to US, Japan, … observers  ‘live’ feeds for the Website, Facebook & Twitter

3 STCE WorkshopROB, May 4 (2012) - 3 Scientific activities from the ground  Maybe a cytherograph operated by IASB-BIRA @ Svalbard  Network of observers all around the world

4 STCE WorkshopROB, May 4 (2012) - 4 Scientific activities from space  Observations by SOIR on-board Venus Express  SOIR performs solar occultation in the IR (2.2-4.3 m)  Measures vertical profiles (70-165 km) of  Densities (CO 2, CO, HCl, H 2 O/HDO, SO 2, …)  Temperature  Aerosols OD/extinction  Only instrument on VEX that will be operated during the transit  Will help constrain temperature and aerosols in the modeling of the aureole

5 STCE WorkshopROB, May 4 (2012) - 5 Venus as an exoplanet  Use the transit 5-6 June 2012  Transmission of the Venus atmosphere during the transit  Can we detect the atmosphere of an Earth-size exoplanet ?  What atmospheric signatures can we expect ?  Is it habitable ?  Proxy for future missions Tanga et al., Icarus 218 (2012) 207-219

6 STCE WorkshopROB, May 4 (2012) - 6 Outreach activities – Planetary Aeronomy Unit  Conferences in schools, institutes, observatories….  Website : http://planetary.aeronomie.be/en/outreach.htm http://planetary.aeronomie.be/en/outreach.htm  Thanks to the team for writing/translating/filming: S. Delanoye, R. Drummond, A. Mahieux, S. Robert, V. Wilquet  and to the Communication Cell for their support S. Fratta, T. Somers
