Characterization of the Outer Uranian Rings in the Visual and Near‐IR Using Keck, JWST, and HST Observations

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We present observations of the Uranian outer ring system at near‐infrared and visible wavelengths. Observations with the Keck Telescope were taken in July‐August 2007 at 2.12 and 1.63 μm, when the ring plane was almost edge‐on (ring opening angle B=0.62 $B=0.62$–0.24° ${}^{\circ}$). These data showed, for the first time, the μ ring at infrared

Spatial and Energy Dependence of Energetic Electron Precipitation Originating From Jupiter's Inner and Middle Magnetosphere

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Energetic electron precipitation transfers trapped magnetospheric energy into Jupiter's atmosphere, yet its contribution beyond the main auroral oval has to be fully quantified. This study statistically investigates the atmospheric energy input from electrons in the 30 keV–1.2 MeV range using in situ measurements from the Juno spacecraft ...

Physical characterization and origin of binary near-Earth asteroid (175706) 1996 FG3

open access: yes, 2011
The near-Earth asteroid (NEA) (175706) 1996 FG3 is a particularly interesting spacecraft target: a binary asteroid with a low-DeltaV heliocentric orbit. The orbit of its satellite has provided valuable information about its mass density while its albedo ...

Enhanced Full Spectral Temperature‐Dependent Refractive Index of Liquid Water From Supercooled to Ambient Conditions

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract A new compilation of the complex refractive index of liquid water is presented, spanning temperatures from 240 $240$ (near homogeneous freezing) to 300 $300$ K and wavelengths from 0.034 $0.034$ μm to 10 m. The real part of the refractive index is derived using the Kramers–Kronig relation, where the imaginary part is constrained by ...

Short‐Term Variability of Jupiter's Satellite Footprints as Spotted by JWST

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract We present the main Alfvén wing (MAW) spots of Io and Europa as observed by the Near‐Infrared Spectrograph onboard the James Webb Space Telescope. These auroral footprint features have been measured previously, but only in emission. Here, the derived ionospheric H3+ ${\mathrm{H}}_{3}^{+}$ emission, temperature and column density are reported ...

Trajectory and stability of Lagrangian point $L_2$ in the Sun-Earth system

open access: yes, 2010
This paper describes design of the trajectory and analysis of the stability of collinear point $L_2$ in the Sun-Earth system. The modified restricted three body problem with additional gravitational potential from the belt is used as the model for the ...

Coupling between corotation and Lindblad resonances in the elliptic planar three-body problem

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the dynamics of two satellites with masses $\mu_s$ and $\mu'_s$ orbiting a massive central planet in a common plane, near a first order mean motion resonance $m$+1:$m$ ($m$ integer).
