Delivery of Dust Particles from Protoplanetary Disks onto Circumplanetary Disks of Giant Planets

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The principal regular satellites of gas giants are thought to be formed by the accumulation of solid materials in circumplanetary disks (CPDs). While there has been significant progress in the study of satellite formation in CPDs, details of the supply ...

Exploring Enceladus's Interior Structure Using Electromagnetic Induction

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Electromagnetic (EM) sounding can constrain the electrical structure of Enceladus and, in turn, the salinity of its ocean and the porosity, fluid content, and thermal state of its hydrothermally active core. Here, we assess the feasibility of EM sounding at Enceladus using both global (orbiter) and local (lander) EM induction transfer ...

New accurate ephemerides for the Galilean satellites of Jupiter

open access: yes, 2004
We present a new theory of the four Galilean satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. This theory aims to deliver highly accurate ephemerides able to represent the Galilean satellites' motion over several centuries.

New Global Map of Io’s Volcanic Thermal Emission and Discovery of Hemispherical Dichotomies

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
By combining multiple spacecraft and telescope data sets, the first fully global volcanic heat flow map of Io has been created, incorporating data down to spatial resolutions of ∼10 km pixel ^−1 in Io’s polar regions.

Modeling the Detectability of Energetic Heliospheric Ions at Pluto During the New Horizons Flyby

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract We investigate the detectability of heliospheric helium ions at energies up to 100 keV by the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft during its flyby through Pluto's induced magnetosphere. The Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation energetic ion detector observed a reduction in their flux by an order of magnitude as the spacecraft ...

Image-processing techniques in precisely measuring positions of Jupiter and its Galilean satellites

open access: yes, 2003
Two image-processing techniques are developed to measure precisely the positions of Jupiter and its Galilean satellites. One is used to detect the edge of Jupiter's CCD image and fit it with an ellipse, thereby obtaining the planetary center.

Hot Spot Detections and Volcanic Changes on Io during the Juno Epoch: Orbits PJ5 to PJ55

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We report volcanic changes on Io since the last Galileo (2002) and New Horizons (2007) flybys as observed by NASA’s Juno spacecraft, examining Io’s volcanism down to the local scale (200 K at 325 individual sites of volcanic activity has been generated ...

Not just gas: How solids-driven torques shaped the migration of the Galilean moons

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics
Context. A crucial aspect of formation models for the Galilean moons of Jupiter is that the objects survive rapid inward orbital migration. Aims. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the orbital migration of the Galilean moons by incorporating

A Geoscientific Review on CO and CO2 Ices in the Outer Solar System

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
Ground-based telescopes and space exploration have provided outstanding observations of the complexity of icy planetary surfaces. This work presents our review of the varying nature of carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) ices from the cold ...
