NEOWISE: Observations of the Irregular Satellites of Jupiter and Saturn [PDF]
We present thermal model fits for 11 Jovian and 3 Saturnian irregular satellites based on measurements from the WISE/NEOWISE dataset. Our fits confirm spacecraft-measured diameters for the objects with in situ observations (Himalia and Phoebe) and ...

Modeling the Jovian subnebula: I - Thermodynamical conditions and migration of proto-satellites [PDF]
We have developed an evolutionary turbulent model of the Jovian subnebula consistent with the extended core accretion formation models of Jupiter described by Alibert et al. (2005b) and derived from Alibert et al. (2004,2005a).

Photometric Survey of the Irregular Satellites [PDF]
We present BVRI colors of 13 Jovian and 8 Saturnian irregular satellites obtained with the 2.56m Nordic Optical Telescope on La Palma, the 6.5m Magellan Baade Telescope on La Campanas, and the 6m MMT on Mt. Hopkins.

Magnetospheric considerations for solar system ice state [PDF]
The current lattice configuration of the water ice on the surfaces of the inner satellites of Jupiter and Saturn is likely shaped by many factors. But laboratory experiments have found that energetic proton irradiation can cause a transition in the ...

The Lense-Thirring effect in the Jovian system of the Galilean satellites and its measurability [PDF]
In this paper we investigate the possibility of measuring the post-Newtonian general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense-Thirring effect in the Jovian system of its Galilean satellites Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto in view of recent developments in ...

Jupiter’s Early Luminosity May Have Driven off Io’s Initial Water Inventory
After its formation, Jupiter was substantially more luminous than it is at the present day (10 ^4 times). Right after formation, the inner satellites Io and Europa would have received an order-of-magnitude larger incoming flux from Jupiter, than solar ...

Impact of Heavy Ions on the Structure of Current Sheets in the Gravity Field of Exoplanets and Stars
Boundary current sheets (CSs) can be formed in collisionless space plasmas in the environment of exoplanets and cold stars. Usually they represent curved surfaces carrying the electric current analogous to the well-known planetary ionospheres ...

Ephemerides of the outer Jovian satellites [PDF]
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 ...

OBSERVATIONS OF THE MUTUAL PHENOMENA OF THE GALILEAN MOONS IN 2009
The instrumental and ephemeris preparation for the photometric observations of the mutual phenomena in the system of planetary satellites was conducted within the PHEMU09 project.
