Surface Changes on Io Observed by Large Binocular Telescope/SHARK in Early 2025

The Planetary Science Journal
High spatial resolution images of the volcanic moon Io at visible and near-infrared wavelengths were obtained by the SHARK-VIS and SHARK-NIR instruments on the Large Binocular Telescope on UT 2025 February 18 and 23.

Fluctuating Interfaces in Barotropic Beta‐Plane Turbulence

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
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.

Large‐Scale Magnetosheath Jets Formed by Shock‐Discontinuity Interactions: A Three‐Dimensional Global Hybrid Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
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.

Soft X‐Ray Emission From Saturn's Magnetosheath II: Solar Wind Driving

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Saturn's magnetosphere is dominated by Enceladus‐sourced neutrals, which spread throughout the system into the magnetosheath. The neutrals can charge exchange with highly charged solar wind ions, causing soft X‐ray emission (<2 ${< } 2$ keV) upon de‐excitation of the ion.

Jupiter’s Metastable Companions

The 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

Constraining Electron‐Impact Ionization of O2 Through UV Aurora Observations at Ganymede

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O2 ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron‐impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative estimates have relied on assumptions about densities and energy distributions of precipitating electrons, or on rare spacecraft measurements that ...

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation‐driven darkening due to illumination and self‐heating—the process of thermal segregation. We apply an advanced 3D thermophysical model, including shadowing and self‐heating through mutual exchange of ...

Search for Jovian decametric emission induced by Europa on the extensive Nançay Decameter Array catalog

, 2022
International audienceContext. The electrodynamic interaction between the Galilean satellites and the Jovian magnetosphere generates Alfvén wings that connect the satellites to the polar atmosphere of Jupiter and induce auroral radiation through the ...
