Document Summary
4:52 pm: phenomena, wind profiles, great dark spot. Banded structure but compared to j and s few atm phenomena on u and n. Atm winds change direction from equator to polar region. Winds change with time: extreme seasons u. Large and small scale structure changed when reached 2007: seaons n. N year 164 earth years so not easy to observe complete seasonal variation. All kbos and obj close to kuiper belt. Formed thru disk fragmentation with younger star. Imaging: techniques detecting, sun and stars, binary stars, tnos, pluto, eris, sat, kuiper belt. Infrared ratio of brightness btwn stars and planets small. Hard to see in visible: doppler effect. New section 4 page 1: doppler effect, transit technique, kepler mission, earth like exoplanets. Motions btwn observer an dobj cause chagne in f of detectin light. When planet moves in front of star. Brightness star will decrease when planet transit happens. Light spectra of obj depends on t.
