Galileo PLS Plasma Observations During the E12 Europa Flyby Refuting an Encounter With a Cryovolcanic Plume

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract During Galileo's closest (“E12”) flyby of Europa, a brief burst of wave activity was recorded by the plasma wave instrumentation, PWS. This was speculatively interpreted by Jia et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550‐018‐0450‐z) as a 2,100 cm−3 spike in plasma densities from a water plume encounter. While the plasma instrument, PLS, could

The thermal/ sensory gravity “S.O.S.” the last phase (40°–50° C) of global warming [PDF]

open access: yesINCAS Bulletin
The gravitational buckling is an ice hole or black hole in the frozen quantum binary space penetrated by the light ignition, the backscattering of radiant thermal energy, where the quantum light barrier (cs = 1010 m/s) breaks together with the thermal ...

The Orbits of the Outer Jovian Satellites

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2000
We report on the numerically integrated orbits for the nine outer Uranian satellites. The orbits are calculated based on fits to the astrometric observations for the period from 1984 to 2006. The results include the state vectors, post-fit residuals, and mean orbital elements.

The Cycles and Dynamical Properties of Convective Outbreaks in Jupiter's Highest Speed Jet From a 55‐Year Study

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Jupiter's most intense jet at planetographic latitude 23.7°N experiences vigorous planetary‐scale disturbances. The onset consists of the outbreak of 1–3 bright clouds of convective origin developing turbulent plumes. Observed events between 1970 and 2025 shows a cycle of activity with a period in the range of 3.8–5.1 yrs interrupted between ...

A Constraint on the Density of Jupiter’s Moon Thebe from Primordial Dynamics

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Of the 97 known satellites in the Jovian system, the individual masses and densities of each moon have only been determined for six of them: the four Galileans, Amalthea, and Himalia. In this Letter, we derive a prediction for the mean density (and mass)

Slantwise Convection and Heat Transport in Icy Moon Oceans

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Ocean heat transport on icy moons shapes the ice shell topography, a primary observable of these moons. Two key processes control the heat transport: baroclinic instability driven by surface buoyancy contrasts and convective instability driven by heating from the core.

Jupiter’s Metastable Companions

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Jovian co-orbitals share Jupiter’s orbit and exhibit 1:1 mean-motion resonance with the planet. This includes >10,000 so-called Trojan asteroids surrounding the leading (L4) and trailing (L5) Lagrange points, viewed as stable groups dating back to planet

Reconstructing the Geometry of a Hot Flow Anomaly With Bounding Jets in Magnetosheath

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract When interplanetary magnetic field discontinuities interact with planetary bow shocks, hot flow anomalies (HFAs) form in the solar wind and can extend into the magnetosheath. Here we reconstruct the three‐dimensional geometry of an HFA bounded by two jet regions in the terrestrial magnetosheath.

Comparing NASA Discovery and New Frontiers Class Mission Concepts for the Io Volcano Observer

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Jupiter’s moon Io is a highly compelling target for future exploration that offers critical insight into tidal dissipation processes and the geology of high heat flux worlds, including primitive planetary bodies, such as the early Earth, that are shaped ...
