Mars Thermospheric Polar Warming at Aphelion: Dynamical Processes Studied Using M‐GITM

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Aphelion Thermospheric Polar Warming (TPW), first identified in 2024 by Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) observations, is a dynamical heating phenomenon in the Martian atmosphere that exists in the winter hemisphere near the aphelion solstice.

Testing the Limits of Provenance Analysis From Basaltic Fluvial Sediment Near Sandvatn, Iceland, as a Mars Analog

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Detrital sediments that accumulate downstream and are preserved in sedimentary rocks can allow characterization of geologic formations that are inaccessible for spatial or temporal reasons. However, mixing, sorting, and alteration of sediment during transport may complicate reconstruction of protolith characteristics.

Comparison of Bar Formation Mechanisms. I. Does a Tidally Induced Bar Rotate Slower than an Internally Induced Bar?

The Astrophysical Journal
Galactic bars can form via the internal bar instability or external tidal perturbations by other galaxies. We systematically compare the properties of the bars formed through the two mechanisms with a series of controlled N -body simulations that form ...

Characterization of the Outer Uranian Rings in the Visual and Near‐IR Using Keck, JWST, and HST Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We present observations of the Uranian outer ring system at near‐infrared and visible wavelengths. Observations with the Keck Telescope were taken in July‐August 2007 at 2.12 and 1.63 μm, when the ring plane was almost edge‐on (ring opening angle B=0.62 $B=0.62$–0.24° ${}^{\circ}$). These data showed, for the first time, the μ ring at infrared

The Spectroscopic Impact of Sublimation Under Martian Surface Conditions: Implications for Sample Analysis by the Rosalind Franklin Rover and Biosignature Preservation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The 2028 ESA/NASA Rosalind Franklin Mission (RFM) will search for signs of past and present life in the shallow subsurface of Mars. It is crucial to understand how minerals and any biosignatures uncovered during these sampling activities might change and be identified under today's Martian conditions.

Investigating the Detectability of Body Wave Phases From Tidal Ice Cracking Events on Titan With the Dragonfly Short‐Period Seismometer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Detecting seismic activity on Saturn's icy moon Titan during the Dragonfly mission could provide crucial information on its internal structure. The geological complexity of the moon's surface suggests significant cyclic tidal deformation, likely leading to the fracturing of the ice shell.

Magnetic Field Induced by Convective Flow in Ganymede's Subsurface Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract It has been suggested that the convective flows in Ganymede's subsurface ocean can generate a magnetic field that is strong enough to be measured by future space missions. Here, we investigate this hypothesis by developing a numerical model of Ganymede's magnetic field induced by the motion of salt water in its interior.

Long‐Term Variations of Jupiter's Stratospheric Planetary Waves Modulated by the Quasi‐Quadrennial Oscillation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Planetary wave activity on Jupiter has been consistently observed since the Voyager mission. This study uses NASA Infrared Telescope Facility 7.6–7.9 μm long‐term ground‐based observations from 1984 to 2011 and global maps from the Cassini flyby in November and December 2000 to analyze Jupiter's stratospheric planetary wave activity.
