Titania's Heat Fluxes Revealed by Messina Chasmata
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Messina Chasmata is a relatively young tectonic structure on Titania based on cross-cutting relationships, although an absolute age has not been estimated.

Experimental Validation of Cryobot Thermal Models for the Exploration of Ocean Worlds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Accessing the potentially habitable subsurface waters of Ocean Worlds requires a robotic ice probe (or “cryobot”) to traverse tens of kilometers of ice with temperatures ranging from ∼100 to 273 K.

Celestial Body Surface Mapping for Resource Discovery Using Satellites
Engineering Proceedings, 2023 Exploring the solar system provides new possibilities for the survival and development of humankind. Although we do not yet have the technology to migrate on a large scale, we must first find proper celestial bodies, understand their environment, and ...

Sesquinary Catastrophe for Close-in Moons with Dynamically Excited Orbits
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We identify a new mechanism that can lead to the destruction of small, close-in planetary satellites. If a small moon close to the planet has a sizable eccentricity and inclination, its ejecta that escape to the planetocentric orbit would often reimpact ...

Detecting Earth’s temporarily-captured natural satellites—Minimoons [PDF]
, 2014 We present a study on the discoverability of temporarily captured orbiters (TCOs) by present day or near-term anticipated ground-based and space-based facilities. TCOs (Granvik, M., Vaubaillon, J., Jedicke, R. [2012].

Natural satellites mutual phenomena observations: Achievements and future
Planetary and Space Science, 2019 Astrometry of Solar system objects needs to perform observations regularly since the motions are fast and the dynamical models need sample of data on long intervals of time.

Material Properties of Organic Liquids, Ices, and Hazes on Titan
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Titan has a diverse range of materials in its atmosphere and on its surface: the simple organics that reside in various phases (gas, liquid, and ice) and the solid complex refractory organics that form Titan’s haze layers.

Thin-shell Tidal Dynamics of Ocean Worlds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Several solar system moons harbor subsurface water oceans; extreme internal heating or solar irradiation can form magma oceans in terrestrial bodies. Tidal forces drive ocean currents, producing tidal heating that affects the thermal−orbital evolution of
