The NIR transmission spectrum of Jupiter from the observation of a Ganymede’s eclipse
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Here, we report the NIR transmission spectrum of Jupiter, with high signal-to-noise ratio, as if it were a transiting planet. Our technique was to observe Ganymede, when crossing Jupiter’s shadow.

A Common Origin for Ridge-and-Trough Terrain on Icy Satellites by Sluggish Lid Convection [PDF]
, 2015 Ridge-and-trough terrain is a common landform on outer Solar System icy satellites. Examples include Ganymede's grooved terrain, Europa's gray bands, Miranda's coronae, and several terrains on Enceladus.

The generation of Ganymede's diffuse aurora through pitch angle scattering [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2017 Diffuse auroral intensities of neutral atomic oxygen OI λ1356 Å emission on Ganymede due to whistler mode waves are estimated. Pitch angle diffusion of magnetospheric electrons into the loss cone due to resonant wave–particle interaction of whistler ...

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 ...

Geophysical tests for habitability in ice-covered ocean worlds [PDF]
, 2017 Geophysical measurements can reveal the structure of icy ocean worlds and cycling of volatiles. The associated density, temperature, sound speed, and electrical conductivity of such worlds thus characterizes their habitability. To explore the variability
