A CO2 Cycle on Ariel? Radiolytic Production and Migration to Low-latitude Cold Traps
CO _2 ice is present on the trailing hemisphere of Ariel but is mostly absent from its leading hemisphere. The leading/trailing hemispherical asymmetry in the distribution of CO _2 ice is consistent with radiolytic production of CO _2 , formed by charged
