Possibility for albedo estimation of exomoons: Why should we care about M dwarfs? [PDF]
A&A 592, A139 (2016), 2016 Occultation light curves of exomoons may give information on their albedo and hence indicate the presence of ice cover on the surface. Icy moons might have subsurface oceans thus these may potentially be habitable. The objective of our paper is to determine whether next generation telescopes will be capable of albedo estimations for icy exomoons using ...

The longevity of water ice on Ganymedes and Europas around migrated giant planets [PDF]
, 2017 The gas giant planets in the Solar System have a retinue of icy moons, and we expect giant exoplanets to have similar satellite systems. If a Jupiter-like planet were to migrate toward its parent star the icy moons orbiting it would evaporate, creating atmospheres and possible habitable surface oceans.

Power Subsystem Approach for the Europa Mission
E3S Web of Conferences, 2017 NASA is planning to launch a spacecraft on a mission to the Jovian moon Europa, in order to conduct a detailed reconnaissance and investigation of its habitability. The spacecraft would orbit Jupiter and perform a detailed science investigation of Europa,

Influence of the Surface Temperature Evolution over Organic and Inorganic Compounds on Iapetus
Universe, 2023 In this manuscript, there were performed simulations of the evolution of the surface temperature for each of the two hemispheres of Iapetus. This icy moon of Saturn shows the most differentiated albedo dichotomy of the Solar System. The dark leading side

Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, Volume 69, Issue 6, Page 723-741, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Introduction Occupational therapists may recommend and support technology use for facilitating independence, safety, wellbeing, and participation. There are high expectations for technology for people living with dementia. However, there is recognition that technologies will need to improve to deliver these expected benefits.

Different ice shell geometries on Europa and Enceladus due to their different sizes: impacts of ocean heat transport [PDF]
, 2022 On icy worlds, the ice shell and subsurface ocean form a coupled system -- heat and salinity flux from the ice shell induced by the ice thickness gradient drives circulation in the ocean, and in turn, the heat transport by ocean circulation shapes the ice shell.

Understanding tidal dissipation in gaseous giant planets from their core to their surface
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Tidal dissipation in planetary interiors is one of the key physical mechanisms that drive the evolution of star-planet and planet-moon systems. Tidal dissipation in planets is intrinsically related to their internal structure.

A Passive Probe for Subsurface Oceans and Liquid Water in Jupiter's Icy Moons [PDF]
, 2014 We describe an interferometric reflectometer method for passive detection of subsurface oceans and liquid water in Jovian icy moons using Jupiter's decametric radio emission (DAM). The DAM flux density exceeds 3,000 times the galactic background in the neighborhood of the Jovian icy moons, providing a signal that could be used for passive radio ...

Liquid water on cold exo-Earths via basal melting of ice sheets
Nature Communications, 2022 Liquid water is a critical component of habitability. However, the production and stability of surficial liquid water can be challenging on planets outside the Habitable Zone and devoid of adequate greenhouse warming.
