Tidal Seismicity in the Moon and Implications for the Rocky Interior of Europa

The Planetary Science Journal
Seismology is a powerful tool for probing the deep interiors of planetary bodies. Just as deep moonquakes triggered by Earth’s tides occur on the Moon, as observed by the Apollo seismometers, icy moons of the giant planets may also have seismically ...

Studying the Formation, Evolution, and Habitability of the Galilean Satellites

, 2013
Highly sensitive, highmass resolution mass spectrometry is an important in situ tool for the study of solar system bodies. In this talk we detail the science objectives, develop the rationale for the measurement requirements, and describe potential ...

Mass Movement and Landform Degradation on the Icy Galilean Satellites: Results of the Galileo Nominal Mission

, 1999
The Galileo mission has revealed remarkable evidence of mass movement and landform degradation on the icy Galilean satellites of Jupiter. Weakening of surface materials coupled with mass movement reduces the topographic relief of landforms by moving ...

On the Divergent Evolution of Io and Europa as Primordial Ocean Worlds

The Astrophysical Journal
The Galilean moons exhibit a decrease in bulk density with distance from Jupiter, which may reflect differences in evolutionary paths and water loss. Early in its history, Jupiter was more luminous, which may have driven substantial atmospheric escape on

Spectroscopic Mapping of Callisto with HST/STIS and Implications for its Surface Composition

The Planetary Science Journal
We present global, spatially resolved ultraviolet–visible spectra of Callisto obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope/Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph and explore possible compositions of Callisto’s surface material.

A Direct Simulation Monte Carlo–Driven Photochemical Model of Callisto’s Ionosphere

The Planetary Science Journal
Here we present a photochemical model of Callisto’s ionosphere with inputs supplied by a direct simulation Monte Carlo model of its neutral atmosphere. We compare a model that considers interactions with photons as the sole external ionization mechanism ...
