Prospects of Using Tidal Tomography to Constrain Ganymede's Interior
Abstract Juice (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) 3GM Radio Science Experiment will map the gravitational field of Ganymede with unprecedented accuracy and measure tidally‐induced variations. These measurements will allow the characterization of its putative ocean and may resolve lateral variations in internal structure.

Laser Terminals on CubeSats: Developments for Telecommunications and Quantum Links
ABSTRACT Satellite‐based laser communication is an emerging technology that is finding its way from research to industry. Compared to radio frequency (RF) systems, it has a more efficient size, weight, and power budget and, furthermore, is license free.

The Radio Wave Polarization of Saturn Lightning Observed by Cassini
Abstract We investigate the polarization of the radio waves emitted by lightning in Saturn's atmosphere, which are referred to as SEDs for Saturn Electrostatic Discharges. Using the complete SED data set retrieved by Cassini's RPWS (Radio and Plasma Wave Science) instrument we found that the circular polarization of SEDs below a frequency of 2 MHz ...

A Discrete Set of Possible Transit Ephemerides for Two Long-period Gas Giants Orbiting HIP 41378 [PDF]
In 2015, K2 observations of the bright (V = 8.9, K = 7.7) star HIP 41378 revealed a rich system of at least five transiting exoplanets, ranging in size from super-Earths to gas giants.

Empirical Reconstruction of Pre‐1995 Extreme Storms Using ML‐Derived Solar Wind Inputs
Abstract The storm‐time geomagnetic field and electric currents are reconstructed for extreme storms before 1995: the July 1982 superstorm and the March 1989 Hydro‐Québec grid collapse event. The reconstructions are based on an improved magnetic field data mining method utilizing recently published machine learning‐derived solar wind data.

Variation of Model‐Predicted Reconnection Voltages Applied to Uranus' Dayside Magnetosphere
Abstract Uranus provides a key missing piece for fundamentally understanding solar wind‐magnetospheric interactions due to its location in the outer solar system. Whether the viscous‐like interaction overtakes global magnetic reconnection as the dominant process at the magnetopause of the outer planets remains unresolved.

An Ionospheric Disturbed Index Based on ROTI
Abstract The ionosphere has significant impacts on wireless communication, satellite navigation, and space weather. Based on hundreds of global GNSS observation stations, we calculate the rate of TEC index (ROTI). Through the analysis of ROTI, we establish a global ionospheric disturbed index (IDI) to directly characterize ionospheric disturbances ...

Transit timing variations and linear ephemerides of confirmed Kepler transiting exoplanets [PDF]
We determine new linear ephemerides of transiting exoplanets using long-cadence de-trended data from quarters Q1 to Q17 of the Kepler mission. We analysed transit-timing variation (TTV) diagrams of 2098 extrasolar planets.

Cross‐Scale Interactions Between ULF Waves, VLF Waves, and Electrons
Abstract Wave‐particle interactions are essential for energy transport in the magnetosphere. In this study, we investigated an event during which electrons interact simultaneously with waves in different scales, using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission.

Precision Ephemerides for Gravitational-wave Searches – III. Revised system parameters of Sco X-1 [PDF]
Neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries are considered promising candidate sources of continuous gravitational-waves. These neutron stars are typically rotating many hundreds of times a second.
