Motional Induction in Ganymede's Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract We investigate the magnetic signature of oceanic circulation in Ganymede's subsurface ocean using kinematic induction modeling. Our approach couples zonal jet flows from rotating thermal convection simulations with magnetic field models incorporating Ganymede's internal dynamo and external contributions from Jupiter.

Auroral Emissions on Ganymede: New Constraints on Their Electron Energy Dependence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Auroral emissions on Ganymede provide critical insights into its magnetospheric dynamics and atmospheric composition. Using a physics‐based atmospheric model with recent atmospheric observations and laboratory measurements of electron‐impact cross‐sections, this study revisits and significantly refines the relationship between auroral emission

Delivery of Dust Particles from Protoplanetary Disks onto Circumplanetary Disks of Giant Planets

The Astrophysical Journal
The principal regular satellites of gas giants are thought to be formed by the accumulation of solid materials in circumplanetary disks (CPDs). While there has been significant progress in the study of satellite formation in CPDs, details of the supply ...

CCD positions for eight Jovian irregular satellites [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006
The astrometric positions of eight irregular Jovian satellites are given for the oppositions of the planet from 1995 to 1999. These positions were measured on 204 CCD frames obtained at the Cassegrain focus of a 1.6 m reflector. They are compared with the theoretically calculated positions from JPL Development Ephemeris.

Europa is Embedded in Non‐Maxwellian, Anisotropic Electron Distributions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract In September 2022, the Juno spacecraft flew by Europa, providing new insight into the electron pitch angle and energy distributions via the Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment electron analyzers (JADE‐E). We fit these observations with two anisotropic kappa distributions (cold and hot), accounting for spacecraft potential, which we find to

Dawn–Dusk Asymmetry of the Io Plasma Torus Derived from Io’s Auroral Footprints Observed by Juno-UVS

The Planetary Science Journal
The Io plasma torus (IPT) is a dense plasma cloud that corotates around Jupiter near Io’s orbit. A dawn-to-dusk electric field shifts the IPT dawnward.

Wanted: An International Jovian-Satellite-Phenomenon Centre [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1988
AbstractAmateur observations made since 1977 show that although the ephemerides for the satellites of Jupiter published by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory are more accurate than those in the Astronomical Almanac, there are still small deviations, which may increase with time.

Short‐Term Variability of Jupiter's Satellite Footprints as Spotted by JWST

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract We present the main Alfvén wing (MAW) spots of Io and Europa as observed by the Near‐Infrared Spectrograph onboard the James Webb Space Telescope. These auroral footprint features have been measured previously, but only in emission. Here, the derived ionospheric H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ emission, temperature and column density are reported ...

JWST Reveals Varied Origins between Jupiter’s Irregular Satellites

The Planetary Science Journal
We 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 ...

Modeling the EMIC Wave‐Induced Acceleration of Energetic Protons in the Io Footprint Tail

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The Io footprint tail (FPT) region is crucial for studying the interactions between Io and Jupiter's magnetosphere. In this region, Juno spacecraft observed significant acceleration of energetic protons, concurrently with electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves below the proton gyro‐frequency.
