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.

On the Origin and Dynamical Evolution of Jupiter’s Moon Amalthea
The Astrophysical JournalInterior to the orbits of Jupiter’s iconic Galilean moons are four small satellites with individual mean radii R ≲ 84 km. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that these bodies formed at a more distant location in Jupiter’s circumplanetary disk before ...

Ion cyclotron waves: a tool for characterizing neutral particle profiles in extended exospheres
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesPlanetary exospheres are usually observed using transit spectroscopic methods, such as the Lyman-α line, which is mainly limited by interstellar medium absorption and airglow contamination from the geocorona when using low-orbit space telescopes or ...

Spectral Decomposition Reveals Surface Processes on Europa
The Astrophysical JournalCompeting processes shape Europa’s surface: geological activity replenishes material through resurfacing, while bombardment by charged particles alters surface chemical composition. Each process leaves distinct spectral signatures.

Monte Carlo Calculation of Electron Energy Degradation in a Pure O2 Atmosphere
The Astrophysical JournalElectron degradation serves as a significant energy source in planetary upper atmospheres. In this study, a Monte Carlo model is constructed to investigate the degradation of electrons in a pure O _2 atmosphere under the local approximation. Both elastic

Jupiter wind as a unifying bridge: a testable paradigm in the Tianwen-4 era
Earth and Planetary PhysicsJupiter's rotating magnetic field, together with its satellites and rings, generate a composite flow that we term the Jupiter wind in this paper: a multi-source mixture of particles originating from Io's volcanism, Jupiter’s other moons, its rings, and ...
