Images of CH4 emission from Jupiter’s stratosphere (0.1−20 mbar, approximately) as described in Table 1. No perturbation from the impact (either the impact streak or crescent) is detected above the background noise and thermal wave activity. Panel a) shows an IRTF/MIRSI image from July 20, with a white arrow indicating the impact longitude. Panels b) and c) show a VLT/VISIR image from July 26, stretched to enhance contrast in panel c). Panels d)g) are cylindrical reprojections of brightness temperature on four dates (UT times and instruments given in each panel). Any perturbation due to the impact would be expected at 55°S (planetocentric latitude) and 304.5°W (System III). All images were obtained in 7.9-μm filters, with the exception of the 7.7-μm filter on Michelle (July 22).
