Do Proto-Jovian Planets Drive Outflows? [PDF]
We discuss the possibility that gaseous giant planets drive strong outflows during early phases of their formation. We consider the range of parameters appropriate for magneto-centrifugally driven stellar and disk outflow models and find that if the ...

The detection of satellites around extrasolar planets, so called exomoons, remains a largely unexplored territory. In this work, we study the potential of detecting these elusive objects from radial velocity monitoring of self-luminous, directly imaged ...

Similarity of the Jovian satellite footprints: Spots multiplicity and dynamics [PDF]
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 ...

Mapping the $\nu_\odot$ Secular Resonance for Retrograde Irregular Satellites [PDF]
Constructing dynamical maps from the filtered output of numerical integrations, we analyze the structure of the $\nu_\odot$ secular resonance for fictitious irregular satellites in retrograde orbits.

The tumultuous early era of outer solar system evolution culminated when Neptune migrated across the primordial Kuiper Belt (PKB) and triggered a dynamical instability among the giant planets.

Photometry of Irregular Satellites of Uranus and Neptune [PDF]
We present BVR photometric colors of six Uranian and two Neptunian irregular satellites, collected using the Magellan Observatory (Las Campanas, Chile) and the Keck Observatory, (Manua Kea, Hawaii).

Constraints from deuterium on the formation of icy bodies in the Jovian system and beyond
We consider the role of deuterium as a potential marker of location and ambient conditions during the formation of small bodies in our Solar system. We concentrate in particular on the formation of the regular icy satellites of Jupiter and the other ...

Fluctuating Interfaces in Barotropic Beta‐Plane Turbulence
Abstract Zonal jets manifest themselves as bands with sharp interfaces in the vorticity configuration. We develop an algorithm to track these fluctuating vorticity interfaces and systematically investigate their characteristic spatio‐temporal behaviors.

Length, Width, and Relative Age Analysis of Lineaments in the Galileo Regional Maps with LineaMapper
The Galileo regional mosaics (“RegMaps”) show Europa’s extensive regional-scale tectonic features under similar illumination conditions. Detailed lineament studies can help constrain resurfacing events and formation mechanisms, but most lineament maps ...

Abstract Magnetosheath high‐speed jets with enhanced dynamic pressure are common in Earth's magnetosheath and can impinge on the magnetopause, driving pronounced boundary deformation. Recent observations indicate that shock–discontinuity interactions (SDIs) can generate magnetosheath jets, but the formation mechanism is still unclear.
