Measurements of the Suitability of Large Rock Salt Formations for Radio Detection of High Energy Neutrinos [PDF]

, 2001
We have investigated the possibility that large rock salt formations might be suitable as target masses for detection of neutrinos of energies about 10 PeV and above.

Expected seismicity and the seismic noise environment of Europa [PDF]

, 2017
Seismic data will be a vital geophysical constraint on internal structure of Europa if we land instruments on the surface. Quantifying expected seismic activity on Europa both in terms of large, recognizable signals and ambient background noise is ...

Compositional variations along the route of Chang’e-3 Yutu rover revealed by the lunar penetrating radar

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2020
Using the high-frequency lunar penetrating radar data obtained by the Chang’e-3 mission, we apply the frequency-shift method to calculate the decay rate of the electromagnetic wave in the regolith-like ejecta deposits of the Ziwei crater.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

LUVMI: an innovative payload for the sampling of volatiles at the Lunar poles [PDF]

, 2017
The ISECG identifies one of the first exploration steps as in situ investigations of the moon or asteroids. Europe is developing payload concepts for drilling and sample analysis, a contribution to a 250kg rover as well as for sample return.

Neutral Solar Wind Generated by Lunar Exospheric Dust at the Terminator

, 2007
We calculate the flux of neutral solar wind observed on the lunar surface at the terminator due to solar wind protons penetrating exospheric dust grains with (1) radii greater than 0.1 microns and (2) radii greater than 0.01 microns.

Superposition of Doppler‐Shifting Magnetopause Kelvin‐Helmholtz Modes Through Dynamic Mode Decomposition of a Global MHD Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) mediates the viscous‐like solar‐terrestrial interaction by generating magnetopause surface waves that quickly become non‐linear. Basic theory predicts the locally most‐unstable linear wave dominates.
