The Long-term Evolution of the Jovian Irregular Satellites
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 ...

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 ...

Inventory of the inner and irregular satellites in the Jovian system [PDF]
openThis study presents a comprehensive inventory of the inner and irregular satellites in the Jovian system. The satellites are categorised according to the orbital parameters such as samimajor axis, orbital inclination and eccentricity, and physical ...

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.

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 ...

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.

ORIGIN OF THE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURES OF THE JOVIAN AND SATURNIAN SATELLITE SYSTEMS [PDF]
The Jovian regular satellite system mainly consists of four Galilean satellites that have similar masses and are trapped in mutual mean motion resonances except for the outer satellite, Callisto. On the other hand, the Saturnian regular satellite system has only one big icy body, Titan, and a population of much smaller icy moons.

Cassini observations reveal a regime of zonostrophic macroturbulence on Jupiter [PDF]
In December 2000, the Cassini fly-by near Jupiter delivered high-resolution images of Jupiter’s clouds over the entire planet in a band between 50°N and 50°S. Three daily-averaged two-dimensional velocity snapshots extracted from these images are used to

Photoevaporation of the Jovian circumplanetary disk [PDF]
Context. The Galilean satellites are thought to have formed from a circumplanetary disk (CPD) surrounding Jupiter. When it reached a critical mass, Jupiter opened an annular gap in the solar protoplanetary disk that might have exposed the CPD to ...

CCD positions for eight Jovian irregular satellites
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.
