Capturing Trojans and Irregular Satellites - the key required to unlock planetary migration [PDF]

, 2013
It is now accepted that the Solar system's youth was a dynamic and chaotic time. The giant planets migrated significant distances to reach their current locations, and evidence of that migration's influence on the Solar system abounds.

Disk resolved studies of the optical properties and physical nature of the surfaces of the outer planet satellites [PDF]

The spatially resolved albedo, color, compaction state, roughness, and constituent particle sizes of the surfaces of the satellites of Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter provide important constraints in understanding the geologic evolution and relevant exogenic

Astrometric positions for 18 irregular satellites of giant planets from 23 years of observations

, 2015
The irregular satellites of the giant planets are believed to have been captured during the evolution of the solar system. Knowing their physical parameters, such as size, density, and albedo is important for constraining where they came from and how ...
