Ongoing research with potential S-T interactions Jeff Cuzzi, SST Cassini: rich data set, complex targets, multi-wavelength; multiple instruments, formats, observing geometries; Saturn’s rings my focus; other SS experts on other topics Protoplanetary nebula modeling; fluid dynamics; production/dissipation of turbulence; particle-gas dynamics; gas and grain surface chemistry; giant planet envelope formation Adaptive optics: pilot study in late 90s UCSC Center of Excellence in Adaptive Optics Ongoing collaboration w/ SAO -Wyoming Mainly groundbased applications
2
ISS RSS, Radar CIRS UVIS (occultations, mapping) MIMI (thermal emission) (WA, NA cameras) (neutrons ! ) (vis, near-IR spectra) Cassini’s Telescopes RPWS (AM, FM)
3
Cassini will return 100-1000x the data of Galileo, but Project teams are not staffed or equipped to handle it Data Analysis Program (DAP) MAYBE available late FY06 Ring and satellite spectral properties; principal component analysis Spatial variation of principal components example: HST and VGR color-color work Possible opportunities for Ames proposals: Titan descent imager: global 3D map-model-object a la MERMAP?
