Chemical and thermal response of Jupiter's atmosphere following the impact of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9
Article Abstract:
Observation of Jupiter's atmospheric response to its collision with the fragments of the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 at millimeter wavelength reveals chemical and thermal changes, as indicated by emission lines associated with carbon monoxide, carbonyl sulfide and carbon monosulphide. The effects are more enhanced during the collision of larger fragments. Thermal modifications existed over varying time periods.

Large changes in Pluto's atmosphere as revealed by recent stellar occultations
Article Abstract:
The stellar occultations by Pluto since 1988 reveal a doubling of Pluto's atmospheric pressure perhaps due to a seasonal effect.
