Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Using the methodology of Cowley et al. (https://doi.org/10.1029/2025JA033993), we employ ∼8 years of Juno azimuthal magnetic field data to derive colatitude profiles of Jupiter's nightside (17‐05 hr via midnight) ionospheric equatorward Pedersen current from near the magnetic pole to inner magnetosphere field lines at 18° colatitude, from ...

The Capture of Centaurs as Trojans
, 2005 Large scale simulations of Centaurs have yielded vast amounts of data, the analysis of which allows interesting but uncommon scenarios to be studied. One such rare phenomenon is the temporary capture of Centaurs as Trojans of the giant planets.

Modeling Ganymede's Surface Charging in Preparation for the JUICE Mission
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract The European Space Agency's (ESA) JUICE mission (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) is en route to the Jovian system to characterize Ganymede's subsurface ocean. Determining the ocean's conductivity and depth requires precise measurements of its induced magnetic field at the position of JUICE.

Temporary Capture of Asteroids by an Eccentric Planet
, 2017 We have investigated the probability of temporary capture of asteroids in eccentric orbits by a planet in a circular or an eccentric orbit through analytical and numerical calculations.

ALMA Thermal Observations of Europa [PDF]
, 2018 We present four daytime thermal images of Europa taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. Together, these images comprise the first spatially resolved thermal dataset with complete coverage of Europa's surface. The resulting brightness temperatures

Clues to the Origin of Jovian Outer Irregular Satellites from Reflectance Spectra
The Planetary Science JournalVisible/near-infrared narrowband spectroscopy (dispersion per element ∼ 6 Å) was obtained of the Jovian irregular satellites JVI Himalia, JVII Elara, JVIII Pasiphae, JIX Sinope, JX Lysithea, JXI Carme, JXII Ananke, and JXVII Callirrhoe in 2006, 2009, and

Ice-Ocean Exchange Processes in the Jovian and Saturnian Satellites
Space Science Reviews, 2020 A growing number of satellites in the outer solar system likely have global oceans beneath their outer icy shells. While the presence of liquid water makes these ocean worlds compelling astrobiological targets, the exchange of heat and materials between the deep interior and the surface also plays a critical role in promoting habitable environments.

Magnetic Field Induced by Convective Flow in Ganymede's Subsurface Ocean
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract It has been suggested that the convective flows in Ganymede's subsurface ocean can generate a magnetic field that is strong enough to be measured by future space missions. Here, we investigate this hypothesis by developing a numerical model of Ganymede's magnetic field induced by the motion of salt water in its interior.

Jupiter’s Metastable Companions
The Astrophysical Journal LettersJovian 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
