Rotational Light Curves of Jupiter from Ultraviolet to Mid-infrared and Implications for Brown Dwarfs and Exoplanets

This research was supported by a NASA Earth and Space Science Fellowship to H.G., and NASA Solar System Workings grant NNX16AG08G and the Hellman Fellowship to X.Z. This research also benefited from the Outer Planetary Atmosphere Legacy project at https://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/opal/. L.N.F. was supported by a Royal Society Research Fellowship and European Research Council Consolidator Grant (under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, grant agreement No. 723890) at the University of Leicester. G.S.O. and J.F. were supported by funds from NASA, distributed to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology; J.F. was supported through JPL's Year-round Internship Program (YIP). This investigation was partially based on thermal-infrared observations acquired at (i) the ESO Very Large Telescope Paranal UT3/Melipal Observatory (program ID 096.C-0091); (ii) the Subaru Telescope and obtained from the SMOKA database, which is operated by the Astronomy Data Center, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (program ID S16B-049); and (iii) NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility, which is operated by the University of Hawaii under contract NNH14CK55B with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (program ID 2016A-022).
