Investigating the Detectability of Body Wave Phases From Tidal Ice Cracking Events on Titan With the Dragonfly Short‐Period Seismometer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Detecting seismic activity on Saturn's icy moon Titan during the Dragonfly mission could provide crucial information on its internal structure. The geological complexity of the moon's surface suggests significant cyclic tidal deformation, likely leading to the fracturing of the ice shell.

The Link between Athor and EL Meteorites Does Not Constrain the Timing of the Giant Planet Instability

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The asteroid Athor, residing today in the inner main asteroid belt, has been recently identified as the source of EL enstatite meteorites to Earth. It has been argued that Athor formed in the terrestrial region—as indicated by a similarity in isotopic ...

Scientific Value of a Saturn Atmospheric Probe Mission [PDF]

, 2012
Atmospheric entry probe mISSions to the giant planets can uniquely discriminate between competing theories of solar system formation and the origin and evolution of the giant planets and their atmospheres.

Do we expect to find the Super-Earths close to the gas giants?

, 2009
We have investigated the evolution of a pair of interacting planets embedded in a gaseous disc, considering the possibility of the resonant capture of a Super-Earth by a Jupiter mass gas giant.

Modeling Wind‐Driven Waves on Other Planets: Applications to Mars, Titan, and Exoplanets

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Waves could exist on any planet with sustained winds and stable surface liquids. However, differences in atmospheres, liquids, and gravity confound efforts to extend Earth‐based empirical wave models to other planetary environments. We adapted a physics‐based numerical wave model to study how planetary conditions affect the growth of waves. We

Modeling Large Dust Aerosols in the Community Earth System Model Version 2 (CESM2)

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Dust aerosols have a wide size distribution from less than 0.1 to over 100 μm and dominate Earth's atmospheric aerosol mass. However, most Earth system models (ESMs) inadequately represent dust aerosols larger than 10 μm in diameter, limiting the accuracy of the simulated dust cycle and climate impacts.

Dust Recycling and Icy Volatile Enhancement (DRIVE): A Novel Method of Volatile Enrichment in Cold Giant Planets

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Giant planet atmospheres are thought to reflect the gas phase composition of the disk when and where they formed. However, these atmospheres may also be polluted via solid accretion or ice sublimation in the disk.

Core-Accretion Model Predicts Few Jovian-Mass Planets Orbiting Red Dwarfs

, 2004
The favored theoretical explanation for giant planet formation -- in both our solar system and others -- is the core accretion model (although it still has some serious difficulties). In this scenario, planetesimals accumulate to build up planetary cores,

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

Journal 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 ...
