Brief Description
The Galileo mission has greatly improved our understanding of Jupiter and the Jovian satellite system. We expect the same from Cassini and Huygens for Saturn and its major moon Titan as well as the other satellites and the rings. Reports on data from both missions as well as interpretations and theoretical studies are wellcome in this session. The session will also be open for those contributing about Uranus and Neptune, in particular in comparison with Jupiter and Saturn, as well as for general studies of gaseous planets and their rocky and icy satellites. We encourage presentations on ground-based measurements that help us complete our vision and understanding of our Solar System. Also, laboratory experiments tightly connected to these aspects with direct applications to the studies of outer planets and their systems are wellcome.
