The Stability of a Dense Crust Situated on Small Bodies
The Planetary Science JournalSmall 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 ...

Short‐Term Variability of Jupiter's Satellite Footprints as Spotted by JWST
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract We present the main Alfvén wing (MAW) spots of Io and Europa as observed by the Near‐Infrared Spectrograph onboard the James Webb Space Telescope. These auroral footprint features have been measured previously, but only in emission. Here, the derived ionospheric H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ emission, temperature and column density are reported ...

Viscoelastic Models of Tidally Heated Exomoons [PDF]
, 2015 Tidal heating of exomoons may play a key role in their habitability, since the elevated temperature can melt the ice on the body even without significant solar radiation.

NEAR-INFRARED BRIGHTNESS OF THE GALILEAN SATELLITES ECLIPSED IN JOVIAN SHADOW: A NEW TECHNIQUE TO INVESTIGATE JOVIAN UPPER ATMOSPHERE [PDF]
, 2014 Based on observations from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Subaru Telescope, we have discovered that Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are bright around 1.5 μm even when not directly lit by sunlight.

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.

Anisotropic Melt Inclusions as a Confounding Signal for Ice‐Penetrating Radar Observations
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract Ice‐penetrating radar is a powerful geophysical tool for understanding the subsurfaces of Earth, Mars, and icy moons. Radar reflectivity, attenuation, and birefringence are used to infer subsurface hydrology, englacial temperature, water content, and crystal orientation fabric.

The dynamics of the de Sitter resonance
, 2017 We study the dynamics of the de Sitter resonance, namely the stable equilibrium configuration of the first three Galilean satellites. We clarify the relation between this family of configurations and the more general Laplace resonant states.

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 3, March 2026.Carrollian Reissner‐Nordström black holes are investigated through fermionic tunneling, entropy‐corrected thermodynamics, and plasma‐modified gravitational lensing. The generalized uncertainty principle introduces minimal‐length corrections to the Hawking temperature, while the combined Barrow‐Exponential entropy reveals smooth thermodynamic crossovers
