Visible-infrared Spectra of keV Electron Irradiated Cryogenic Salts with Implications for Europa Surface Composition

The Planetary Science Journal
Visible to near-infrared spectral coloring of cryogenic halides, sulfates, their frozen brines, and sulfuric acid hydrate formed through one to tens of keV electron radiation can inform on the composition of Europa’s surface.

Callisto’s Nonresonant Orbit as an Outcome of Circum-Jovian Disk Substructure

The Astrophysical Journal
The Galilean moons of Io, Europa, and Ganymede exhibit a 4:2:1 commensurability in their mean motions, a configuration known as the Laplace resonance. The prevailing view for the origin of this three-body resonance involves the convergent migration of ...

A Multifrequency Global View of Callisto’s Thermal Properties from ALMA

The Planetary Science Journal
We present thermal observations of Callisto’s leading and trailing hemispheres obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at 0.87 mm (343 GHz), 1.3 mm (233 GHz), and 3 mm (97 GHz).

Modeling magnetospheric fields in the Jupiter system

, 2017
The various processes which generate magnetic fields within the Jupiter system are exemplary for a large class of similar processes occurring at other planets in the solar system, but also around extrasolar planets.

Deep Impact Mission to Tempel 1 Favours New Explosive Cosmogony of Comets [PDF]

, 2006
The assumption that short-period (SP) comets are fragments of massive icy envelopes of Ganymede-like bodies saturated by products of ice electrolysis that underwent global explosions provides a plausible explanation of all known manifestations of comets,

Revealing Callisto’s Near-subsurface Thermophysical Properties with ALMA Calibration Data

The Planetary Science Journal
Thermal images at different wavelengths probe varying subsurface depths of planetary bodies and therefore can inform us about their compositions, thermophysical properties, and impact histories.

A High-precision Dynamical Model of Callisto: Incorporating Rotation Effects within Multilayer Internal Structure Models

The Astrophysical Journal
China is planning to launch the “Tianwen-4” mission around the year 2030, with its aim being the exploration of Jupiter and its moon, Callisto. Within the realm of deep space exploration, the accuracy of ephemerides is of great importance.
