10 μm observations of SL-9 crash onto Jupiter with CAMIRAS at NOT.
Abstract
From July 16th to July 27th, the authors have used the Saclay Mid-IR camera, CAMIRAS, mounted on the 2.5 m Nordic Optical Telescope (La Palma island, Spain) to image Jupiter. Up to now, only the observations obtained within one hour after impacts have been fully reduced. An homogeneous sample of light curves with a time resolution of 1 second has been obtained. The authors discuss the interpretation of the light curves.
