Eclipses of the inner satellites of Jupiter observed in 2015

, 2016
During the 2014-2015 campaign of mutual events, we recorded ground-based photometric observations of eclipses of Amalthea (JV) and, for the first time, Thebe (JXIV) by the Galilean moons.

Deciphering the Origin of the Regular Satellites of Gaseous Giants - Iapetus: the Rosetta Ice-Moon [PDF]

, 2009
Here we show that Iapetus can serve to discriminate between satellite formation models. Its accretion history can be understood in terms of a two-component gaseous subnebula, with a relatively dense inner region, and an extended tail out to the location ...

The Stability of a Dense Crust Situated on Small Bodies

The Planetary Science Journal
Small planetary bodies in the solar system, including Io, Ganymede, and Callisto, may have a crust denser than their underlying mantle. Despite the inherent gravitational instability of such structures, we show that the growth timescale of the Rayleigh ...

The Lense–Thirring Effect on the Galilean Moons of Jupiter

Universe, 2023
The perspectives of detecting the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense–Thirring effect on the orbits of the Galilean moons of Jupiter induced by the angular momentum S of the latter are preliminarily investigated.

Surface charging of thick porous water ice layers relevant for ion sputtering experiments [PDF]

, 2016
We use a laboratory facility to study the sputtering properties of centimeter-thick porous water ice subjected to the bombardment of ions and electrons to better understand the formation of exospheres of the icy moons of Jupiter.

Coordinates of features on the Galilean satellites [PDF]

Control nets of the four Galilean satellites, established photogrammetrically from pictures taken by the two Voyager spacecraft during their flybys of Jupiter in 1979, are discussed.

Orbital Evolution of Moons in Weakly Accreting Circumplanetary Disks

, 2017
We investigate the formation of hot and massive circumplanetary disks (CPDs) and the orbital evolution of satellites formed in these disks. Because of the comparatively small size-scale of the sub-disk, quick magnetic diffusion prevents the ...

Onboard Science Instrument Autonomy for the Detection of Microscopy Biosignatures on the Ocean Worlds Life Surveyor

The Planetary Science Journal
The quest to find extraterrestrial life is a critical scientific endeavor with civilization-level implications. Icy moons in our solar system are promising targets for exploration because their liquid oceans make them potential habitats ...

THE RESULTS OF OBSERVATIONS OF MUTUAL PHENOMENA OF THE GALILEAN SATELLITES OF JUPITER IN 2009 AND 2015 IN NIKOLAEV ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY

Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2016
The Earth and Jupiter once in 6 years have simultaneous passage of the ecliptic plane due to their orbital movement around the Sun. This makes it possible to observe the mutual occultations and eclipses in the Galilean satellites of Jupiter. We took part

Radiolysis of water ice in the outer solar system: Sputtering and trapping of radiation products [PDF]

, 2001
We performed quantitative laboratory radiolysis experiments on cubic water ice between 40 and 120 K, with 200 keV protons. We measured sputtering of atoms and molecules and the trapping of radiolytic molecular species.
