Juno's Close Encounter With Ganymede—An Overview [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The Juno spacecraft has been in orbit around Jupiter since 2016. Two flybys of Ganymede were executed in 2021, opportunities realized by evolution of Juno's polar orbit over the intervening 5 years.

Ganymede Observations by JunoCam on Juno Perijove 34 [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
During the Juno Mission's encounter with Ganymede on 7 June 2021, the Juno camera (JunoCam) acquired four images of Ganymede in color. These images covered one‐sixth of Ganymede at scales from 840 m to ∼4 km/pixel.

Plasma Observations During the 7 June 2021 Ganymede Flyby From the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment (JADE) on Juno

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
We report on plasma observations from Juno/Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment during the Ganymede flyby on 7 June 2021. Juno approached Ganymede from southern latitudes, passed through the wake region, then through its magnetosphere to closest ...

Giant impact on early Ganymede and its subsequent reorientation [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Ganymede has an ancient impact structure called a furrow system. The furrow system is the largest impact structure in the outer solar system, and the impact should have significantly affected Ganymede’s early history; however, its effects are poorly ...

On the formation of Ganymede's surface brightness asymmetries: Kinetic simulations of Ganymede's magnetosphere

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
Ganymede possesses strong surface brightness asymmetries both between its polar cap and equatorial regions and between its leading and trailing hemispheres.

Juno Plasma Wave Observations at Ganymede [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
The Juno Waves instrument measured plasma waves associated with Ganymede's magnetosphere during its flyby on 7 June, day 158, 2021. Three distinct regions were identified including a wake, and nightside and dayside regions in the magnetosphere ...

Aurora on Ganymede [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2013
We present four sets of ultraviolet images of Ganymede acquired with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) from 1998 to 2007, all of which show auroral emission from electron excited atomic oxygen. The three different hemispheres of Ganymede captured in the observations show strikingly different emission morphologies.

Design of Ganymede-Synchronous Frozen Orbit around Europa

Mathematics, 2022
A Ganymede-synchronous frozen orbit around Europa provides a stable spatial geometry between a Europa probe and a Ganymede lander, which facilitates the observation of Ganymede and data transmission between probes.

Ganymede's Ionosphere Observed by a Dual‐Frequency Radio Occultation With Juno

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
In June 2021, the Juno spacecraft executed a close flyby of Ganymede. During the encounter, Juno passed behind Ganymede for 15 min as observed from Earth, providing the geometry to conduct a radio occultation experiment to probe Ganymede's tenuous ...

On the stability of Laplace resonance for Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede)

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
This paper presents the application of recent ansatz for estimation of stability of the Laplace resonance for Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede). We estimate over time the eccentricity + semi–major axis in a binary system experiencing the net tidal ...
