Here the other drafts of north polar PJ16 images.

The north polar images have been designed to obtain good data of the northern circum polar cyclones (CPCs), and in order to get data as close to the pole as possible.
We hope to be able to retrieve information about the dynamics of the CPCs.

Due to solar conjunction, the amount of data for PJ16 is limited. The instruments of the spacecraft were looking close to the ground track, without the HGA antenna pointing to Earth during flyby. For JunoCam, the overall focus is on good close-up images. Only few approach and departure images have been taken, actually no approach or departure sequence.

A montage showing the PJ16_6 image in approximately true color/contrast (left) and with the effects of the varying illumination removed and the contrast increased (right):

Areas near the limb at lower left are overexposed since the exposure time was increased to better show details in the dimly lit areas near the north pole.

A subset from the metadata:

IMAGE_TIME = 2018-10-29T20:29:09.835
MISSION_PHASE_NAME = PERIJOVE 16
PRODUCT_ID = JNCE_2018302_16C00006_V01
SPACECRAFT_ALTITUDE = 47405.6 km
SPACECRAFT_NAME = JUNO
SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE = 81.6117
SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE = 137.4188
TITLE = PJ16 North Pole at Minimum Emission Angle
Resolution at nadir: ~32 km/pixel

This is my first pass on Perijove 16, #6 (JNCE_2018302_16C00006_V01). Color is a bit tough due to the exposure mode, but good detail towards the pole.

The next six images from Perijove 16 are up on missionjuno, it seems!

Note a presumable lightning on the night side close to the terminator, and the visibility of Io's night side.

Here more drafts of part 2.
Here a more complete set of reprojections, part 2.
Here several map products of part 2, approximately illumination adjusted, and stretched to gamma=1 relative to radiometric values.

Reprojections, part 1.
Maps part 1, with gamma=1.
Maps part 1, with gamma=4.

Thanks Gerald. Lovely work from Kevin & Bjorn also.

This is almost vertigo-inducing, but in a good way.

I feel safer than ever in saying that these images will produce important science related – at the very least – to the chromophores in Jupiter's clouds.

Link to drafts and reprojections of PJ16, part 3.

It's five new images. I'll provide JPG copies of the reprojections here.

Perijove 16 update ( Brian Swift process )

Some updates using Gerald's source...

PJ16 so far...




Details...

For fun I also made some wallpapers for mobile phones from the recent sequence, all using Gerald's source for the processed works...

Jupiter and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Here's a processed and cropped image #0011 (based off Gerald's draft), showing Io setting behind Jupiter's North Polar Hood.

Also playing around with trying to circularize the hyperbolic conic section that we see in the images near closest approach. It looks really unnatural to me, so I've been trying to 'fix' it. I've found a method that might work, here's the result I've gotten. (Base image is a processed version of Gerald's draft #0013.)



EDIT: Here's another "circularized" image from draft #0017

Interesting approach, Justin.
I like the image with Io just above the horizon.

The remaining PJ16 images are on Earth and online.
Here the according drafts, and reprojections.

Here on UMSF, I'll provide a JPG version of the reprojections of the RGBs, starting with PJ16 image #19:

Thanks, Gerald. Some work from the recent batch of drafts today.

Here's Io rising back above Jupiter's horizon in #0023.

If you look very carefully, the night side of Io is lit by first-quarter Jupitershine.

This is awesome Gerald, here's my take on #26:

PJ16 HD flyby on YouTube.
Access to MP4 and stills.
For PJ16, TDI1 images, I've derived a specific reflectance distribution function (RDF), a 4th degree polynomial over two parameters. The RDF derived from PJ6, TDI2 seemed to reach the limit of its valid domain. The PJ6 RDF has been a 5th degree polynomial over two parameters. Here are auxillary data, some of which I've used to derive the polynomial.
The amount of required work, together with rendition times and my own laziness took a few days.

A link to revised PJ16 reprojections, with other/better illumination adjustment. I probably won't have time to upload this version elsewhere in the short run.

ASTONISHING GERALD! #23

Hints of some of the large scale surface markings are visible despite the very low resolution (~300 km/pixel in the original image data). For context, two computer generated images are also shown.

Here is my processed & re-timed version of Gerald's excellent work on perijove 16 flyby...
