UV-Induced Formation of Ice XI Observed Using an Ultra-High Vacuum Cryogenic Transmission Electron Microscope and its Implications for Planetary Science [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 The occurrence of hydrogen atom-ordered form of ice Ih, ice XI, in the outer Solar System has been discussed based on laboratory experiments because its ferroelectricity influences the physical processes in the outer Solar System.

Spectroscopic Links among Giant Planet Irregular Satellites and Trojans
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We collect near-infrared spectra (∼0.75–2.55 μ m) of four Jovian irregular satellites and visible spectra (∼0.32–1.00 μ m) of two Jovian irregular satellites, two Uranian irregular satellites, and four Neptune Trojans.

Constraints on Europa’s Water Group Torus from HST/COS Observations
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 In situ plasma measurements as well as remote mapping of energetic neutral atoms around Jupiter provide indirect evidence that an enhancement of neutral gas is present near the orbit of the moon Europa.

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.

Cladistical Analysis of the Jovian and Saturnian Satellite Systems [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract Jupiter and Saturn each have complex systems of satellites and rings. These satellites can be classified into dynamical groups, implying similar formation scenarios. Recently, a larger number of additional irregular satellites have been discovered around both gas giants that have yet to be classified. The aim of this paper is to

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 ...

Modeling the Jovian subnebula [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 We use the evolutionary turbulent model of Jupiter's subnebula described by Alibert et al. (2005a) to constrain the composition of ices incorporated in its regular icy satellites. We consider CO2, CO, CH4, N2, NH3, H2S, Ar, Kr, and Xe as the major volatile species existing in the gas-phase of the solar nebula.

Thermal Properties of the Leading Hemisphere of Callisto Inferred from ALMA Observations
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 We present a thermal observation of Callisto's leading hemisphere obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at 0.87 mm (343 GHz).
