Io’s Optical Aurorae in Jupiter’s Shadow
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Decline and recovery timescales surrounding eclipse are indicative of the controlling physical processes in Io’s atmosphere. Recent studies have established that the majority of Io’s molecular atmosphere, SO _2 and SO, condenses during its passage ...

Galilean Satellites and the Galileo Space Mission [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1997 AbstractThe Galileo spacecraft arrived at Jupiter in December 1995 to start its two-year mission of exploring the Jovian system. The spacecraft will complete eleven orbits around Jupiter and have ten more close encounters with the outer three Galilean satellites, after the initial close approach to Io on December 7, 1995.

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...

Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 Observation of mutual events has been confirmed to be a most effective and accurate ground-based method for obtaining accurate astrometric data by fitting the flux variation of involved satellites during the events, which is very invaluable for improving

Length, Width, and Relative Age Analysis of Lineaments in the Galileo Regional Maps with LineaMapper
The Planetary Science JournalThe Galileo regional mosaics (“RegMaps”) show Europa’s extensive regional-scale tectonic features under similar illumination conditions. Detailed lineament studies can help constrain resurfacing events and formation mechanisms, but most lineament maps ...

The Optical Aurorae of Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 The tenuous atmospheres of the Galilean satellites are sourced from their surfaces and produced by a combination of plasma-surface interactions and thermal processes. Even though they are thin, these atmospheres can be studied via their auroral emissions,

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

Growth and evolution of satellites in a Jovian massive disc
, 2017 The formation of satellite systems in circum-planetary discs is considered to be similar to the formation of rocky planets in a proto-planetary disc, especially Super-Earths.

Theory of Motion of Jupiter’s Galilean Satellites [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1978 AbstractThe final results for the theory enabling one to calculate the positions of the Galilean satellites and their partial derivatives are presented, following the techniques outlined in earlier papers. Extensive use of algebraic manipulation software on a digital computer is employed to generate the final expressions.
