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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Asymmetric distribution of reconnection jet fronts in the Jovian nightside magnetosphere [PDF]
, 2013 Magnetic reconnection plays important roles in mass transport and energy conversion in planetary magnetospheres. It is considered that transient reconnection causes localized auroral arcs or spots in the Jovian magnetosphere, by analogy to the case in ...

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 ...

The Long-term Evolution of the Jovian Irregular Satellites
, 2010 Interested in the global dynamical structure of the Jovian irregular satellites and their chaotic evolutions, we have performed numerical integrations of the satellites along with an indicator of chaos (MEGNO), to give a clear representation of the dynamical structure of the regions surrounding the satellites, and the consequences on the individual ...

Magnetic reconnection in the Jovian tail : X-line evolution and consequent plasma sheet structures [PDF]
, 2011 Magnetic reconnection in planetary magnetospheres plays important roles in energy and mass transfer in the steady state, and also possibly in transient large-scale disturbances.

Similarity of the Jovian satellite footprints: Spots multiplicity and dynamics [PDF]
Icarus, 2017 In the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn, the intense interaction of the satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede and Enceladus with their surrounding plasma environment leaves a signature in the aurora of the planet. Called satellite footprints, these auroral features appear either as a single spot (Europa and Enceladus) or as multiple spots (Io and ...
