Scientific paper

We propose a thermal-infrared component to a campaign of support for the Jupiter encounter of the Pluto-bound New Horizons spacecraft early in 2007 (closest approach on February 28). (1) We will determine the response of the upper stratosphere to variations of Jupiter's aurora and the correlation of neutral atmospheric phenomena with UV and X ray auroral emissions, which are also associated with an International Heliophysical Year study. (2) We will determine the thermal response of the atmosphere to dynamics and provide a vertical extension of the winds to be determined by the high spatial resolution near-infrared spectroscopy provided by the spacecraft.
