Professional-amateur collaborations extent in planetary science
Abstract
International planets' atmospheres studies have been using amateurs' images and analysis since years. Topics cover Venus' atmosphere rotation, high-altitude Martian clouds, Jovian features evolutions, Saturn's storms, clouds on Uranus and Neptune, Cassini and Juno probes ground based support, \dots Other collaborations target specific studies like monitoring impacts on Jupiter, advanced techniques or professional observation facilities usage (1 meter telescope at Pic du Midi). We will present here some of the latest collaborations and potential future topics to improve pro-am collaborations in planetary science.
