Models of dust around Europa and Ganymede [PDF]
, 2012 We use numerical models, supported by our laboratory data, to predict the dust densities of ejecta outflux at any altitude within the Hill spheres of Europa and Ganymede.

Icarus (New York, N.Y. 1962), 2021 The existence of a high pressure ice layer between the silicate core and the liquid ocean in large icy moons and ocean worlds is usually seen as a barrier to habitability, preventing the compounds needed for life to flow into the ocean.

Multi-Layer Hydrostatic Equilibrium of Planets and Synchronous Moons: Theory and Application to Ceres and to Solar System Moons [PDF]
, 2014 The hydrostatic equilibrium of multi-layer bodies lacks a satisfactory theoretical treatment despite its wide range of applicability. Here we show that by using the exact analytical potential of homogeneous ellipsoids we can obtain recursive analytical ...

The thermal emission of Saturn's icy moons. Effects of topography and regolith properties
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2021 Context. The effects of space weathering and other alteration processes on the upper surface of Saturn’s icy moons are yet to be explored. Aims. We present a thermophysical model parametrised by way of regolith properties such as porosity, grain size ...

Observation of nuclear quantum effects and hydrogen bond symmetrisation in high pressure ice
Nature Communications, 2018 Hydrogen atoms in water ices, under pressures at which they might exist in ocean exoplanets and icy moons, exhibit dynamics that are still poorly understood. Here, 1H-NMR experiments approaching the Mbar range shed light on the symmetrisation of hydrogen

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2021 Recent studies have proposed that Jovian decametric radiation (DAM) can be effectively exploited for probing the subsurface of Jupiter’s icy moons by using passive radio sounding.

Prospects for Cryovolcanic Activity on Cold Ocean Planets
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have estimated total internal heating rates and depths to possible subsurface oceans for 17 planets that may be cold ocean planets, low-mass exoplanets with equilibrium surface temperatures and/or densities that are consistent with icy surfaces and a ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020 Icy moons in our solar system are targets of interest to search for signs of life and habitability beyond Earth. They are the astrobiological aim for several developing space missions (JUICE, Europa Clipper, and Europa Lander). A further understanding of

Consequences of large impacts on Enceladus' core shape [PDF]
, 2015 International audienceThe intense activity on Enceladus suggests a differentiated interior consisting of a rocky core, an internal ocean and an icy mantle.
