Dr. Emilie Royer's research focuses on Ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, toward a better understanding of the interactions of diverse Solar System objects with their immediate environment. She uses UV wavelengths to study icy surfaces of airless bodies, as well as upper atmospheres.
Research projects on upper atmospheres include the analysis of the Nitric Oxide (NO) nightglow at Venus and Mars, the analysis of the Titan airglow and the investigation of the O_2 1.27 micron airglow at Venus from ground-based observations.
Research projects on icy surfaces include the analysis of the UV photometric and compositional properties of the icy satellites of Saturn and Jupiter.
