Early Stages of Galilean Moon Formation in a Water-depleted Environment

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
A key feature of the Galilean satellite system is its monotonic decrease in bulk density with growing distance from Jupiter, indicating an ice mass fraction that is zero in the innermost moon Io and about half in the outer moons Ganymede and Callisto ...

Magnetospheric considerations for solar system ice state [PDF]

, 2018
The current lattice configuration of the water ice on the surfaces of the inner satellites of Jupiter and Saturn is likely shaped by many factors. But laboratory experiments have found that energetic proton irradiation can cause a transition in the ...

Probing Ganymede’s Atmosphere with HST Lyα Images in Transit of Jupiter

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We report results from far-ultraviolet observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, transiting across the planet’s dayside hemisphere.

N-body Simulations of Satellite Formation around Giant Planets: Origin of Orbital Configuration of the Galilean Moons

, 2012
As the number of discovered extrasolar planets has been increasing, diversity of planetary systems requires studies of new formation scenarios. It is important to study satellite formation in circumplanetary disks, which is often viewed as analogous to ...

Exploration of Jupiter’s Galilean satellites and their complex interactions with the Jovian magnetosphere: Hungary’s participation in ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission

The European Physical Journal Special Topics
Jupiter's magnetosphere is one of the largest natural particle accelerators in our Solar System. Its dynamic processes are governed by the fast rotation of the planet, creating complex current systems and particle transport mechanisms.

Analysis of mutual events of Galilean satellites observed from VBO during 2014–2015 [PDF]

, 2017
Results of analysis of 23 events of the 2014-2015 mutual event series from the Vainu Bappu Observatory are presented. Our intensity distribution model for the eclipsed/occulted satellite is based on the criterion that it simulates a rotational light ...

Detecting Exomoons from Radial Velocity Measurements of Self-luminous Planets: Application to Observations of HR 7672 B and Future Prospects

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
The detection of satellites around extrasolar planets, so called exomoons, remains a largely unexplored territory. In this work, we study the potential of detecting these elusive objects from radial velocity monitoring of self-luminous, directly imaged ...

Mass-wasting Features on Galilean Icy Moons: Morphological Analysis and Implications

The Planetary Science Journal
This study investigates mass-wasting features on the icy Galilean satellites Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Through comparative morphological analysis, we identified and classified slides, slumps, and flow-like deposits as mass-wasting categories using ...
