Unraveling the Geologic History of Miranda’s Inverness Corona

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Miranda is the only icy body whose surface is known to contain the enigmatic features called corona—ovoid to trapezoidal areas of deformation. In this work, we seek to constrain potential formation mechanisms for Inverness Corona, the youngest known ...

Longitudinal Variation of H2O Ice Absorption on Miranda

The Planetary Science Journal, 2022
Many tidally locked icy satellites in the outer solar system show leading/trailing hemispherical asymmetries in the strength of near-infrared (NIR) H _2 O ice absorption bands, in which the absorption bands are stronger on the leading hemisphere. This is

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.

Dynamical Interactions and Mass Loss within the Uranian System

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
The origin and evolution of planetary rings and moons remains an active area of study, particularly as they relate to the impact history and volatile inventory of the outer solar system.

A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo [PDF]

, 2014
Hitherto, rings have been found exclusively around the four giant planets in the Solar System1. Rings are natural laboratories in which to study dynamical processes analogous to those that take place during the formation of planetary systems and galaxies.

Evidence for Nitrogen-bearing Species on Umbriel: Sourced from a Subsurface Ocean, Undifferentiated Crust, or Impactors?

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Near-infrared spectra of Umbriel and the other classical Uranian moons exhibit 2.2 μ m absorption bands that could result from ammonia (NH _3 ) bearing species, possibly exposed in the geologically recent past.

Cupid is doomed: An analysis of the stability of the inner uranian satellites [PDF]

Icarus, 2012
We have explored the stability of the inner Uranian satellites using simulations based on the most recent observational data. We find that, across a wide range of mass assumptions, the system is unstable, resulting in the eventual crossing of orbits and probable subsequent collision of moons.

A CO2 Cycle on Ariel? Radiolytic Production and Migration to Low-latitude Cold Traps

The Planetary Science Journal, 2022
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
