Ephemerides of the outer Jovian satellites [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2005 The results of the determination of orbits for 54 outer satellites of Jupiter based on all available observations of these satellites are presented. The problem was solved using numerical integration method applied to the equations of satellite motion. After initial conditions of integration were refined, the residuals of observations from theory were ...

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

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.

Growth and evolution of satellites in a Jovian massive disc [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 The formation of satellite systems in circum-planetary discs is considered to be similar to the formation of rocky planets in a proto-planetary disc, especially Super-Earths. Thus, it is possible to use systems with large satellites to test formation theories that are also applicable to extrasolar planets.

Ice-Ocean Exchange Processes in the Jovian and Saturnian Satellites
Space Science Reviews, 2020 A growing number of satellites in the outer solar system likely have global oceans beneath their outer icy shells. While the presence of liquid water makes these ocean worlds compelling astrobiological targets, the exchange of heat and materials between the deep interior and the surface also plays a critical role in promoting habitable environments. In

The long-term dynamics of the Jovian irregular satellites [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2011 Context. The dynamical region of the Jovian irregular satellites presents an interesting web of resonances that are not yet fully understood. Of particular interest is the influence of the resonances on the stochasticity of the individual orbits of the satellites, as well as on the long-term chaotic diffusion of the different families of satellites ...

JWST Reveals Varied Origins between Jupiter’s Irregular Satellites
The Planetary Science JournalWe report JWST NIRSpec (0.7–5.1 μ m) observations of eight Jovian irregular satellites across five orbital groups. We detect variation in the phyllosilicate content of the three largest members of the Himalia collisional family (Himalia, D ∼ 140 km ...

Comparison of the Jovian and Saturnian satellites
, 2009 The understanding of outer planet satellites has improved considerably, when the Voyager spacecraft flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, followed by the advent of the Galileo spacecraft in the Jovian system (1995-2003) and the Cassini ...

Chaoticity of the Jovian Irregular Satellites
, 2009 Until now, the study of the chaoticity of the Jovian irregular satellites has been restricted to several ones and investigated on a limited integration time. We have extended these studies to the whole number of satellites and in time integration.

Resonant Rotation States of the Jovian and Saturnian Satellites [PDF]
, 2019 Many of the moons of the giant planets are trapped in a 1:1 spin-orbit resonance. Up to now this special rotation state is confirmed by observations for 8 satellites of Jupiter, 15 satellites of Saturn, 15 satellites of Uranus, and 7 satellites of Neptune[1].
