Elastic Properties of Titan Tholins Revealed by Brillouin Spectroscopy
Mark A. Johnson, Jose R. Montes-Bojorquez, Adis Husic +7
Titan tholins, complex organic solids synthesized by simulating photochemical processes in Titan's atmosphere, are widely regarded as analogs to organic surface materials on the Sa…
Size Constraints for the Pre-atmospheric Parent Bodies of Ordinary Chondrites
Juan A. Sanchez, David C. Cantillo, Adam Battle +7
The study of S-complex near-Earth objects (NEOs), the parent bodies of ordinary chondrites, has shown that they are dominated by asteroids with LL chondrite-like compositions. This…
Kilometre-scale Jovian moon characterized for a potential JUICE flyby
Juan Luis Rizos, Jose Maria Gomez-Limon, Yucel Kilic +51
Jupiter's irregular satellites are thought to be relics of early Solar System planetesimals. However, their small sizes, large distances from Earth and close angular proximity to J…
Chondrite Parent Bodies as Escaped Satellites of Proto-Planetary Embryos
Harold F. Levison, Rogerio Deienno, Kevin J. Walsh +4
Chondrites are composed of formerly partially molten material, known as chondrules, surrounded by fine-grained matrix. They date from the earliest times in Solar System history. Ho…
Distant TNO Inclinations as a Constraint on Primordial Cluster Perturbations in the Presence of Planet Nine
Avni Bansal, Ian Brunton, Konstantin Batygin +2
The Sun was almost certainly born in a stellar cluster, implying some degree of external forcing from neighboring stars during the Solar System's infancy. Published estimates of th…
Comparing Monte Carlo Models of Impact Alteration of Planetary Atmospheres
MIkayla R. Huffman, David A. Brain, Kelsi N. Singer +2
One process that affects atmospheric surface pressure is impact bombardment. The evolution of a planet's atmosphere under impact bombardment is an open question. We use a Monte Car…
Constraints on the Atmospheric Composition of 2002 XV from JWST Spectroscopy
Ian Wong, Silvia Protopapa, Emmanuel Lellouch
The recent detection of an atmosphere surrounding the trans-Neptunian object (TNO) 2002 XV from stellar occultation measurements has challenged the longstanding view that on…
Detection of propadiene (CHCCH), propene (CH) and non-detection of propane (CH) in Jupiter's northern polar stratosphere
James A. Sinclair, Thomas K. Greathouse, Rohini S. Giles +8
We report the first detection of stratospheric propadiene (CHCCH) and propene (CH) at Jupiter's mid-to-high northern latitudes using IRTF-TEXES measurements recorde…
Europa's Lyman- emissions from HST/STIS observations
L. Roth, K. D. Retherford, J. Saur +13
An image of Lyman- (Ly) emission from Europa obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (HST/STIS) has previously provided the first eviden…
Feeling the Pressure: Effects of Formation Pressure on the Physical Properties of Titan Haze Analogs
Adis Husić, Xinting Yu, Ryan C. Blase +3
The Cassini-Huygens mission detected large negative ions in Titan's ionosphere at pressures as low as torr. These ions ultimately polymerize to form Titan's complex organ…
Physical Analysis of Bennu Samples Reveals Regolith Production by Collisional Disruption on Near-Earth Asteroids
R. -L. Ballouz, A. J. Ryan, R. J. Macke +25
Owing to the extremely low gravity of small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), it has been assumed that impact-generated rock fragments escape into space and thus do not contribute to th…
Constraining Electron-Impact Ionization of O Through UV Aurora Observations at Ganymede
Stefan Duling, Joachim Saur, Darrell Strobel +3
While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron-impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative…
Lava Lakes on Io: crust age and implications for thermal output
Alessandro Mura, Rosaly M. C. Lopes, Federico Tosi +12
Recent observations by the JIRAM instrument onboard NASA's Juno mission have confirmed that many of Io's volcanic hot spots are active lava lakes, characterized by a colder central…
Delivery of complex organic molecules to the system of Jupiter
T. Benest Couzinou, A. Amsler Moulanier, O. Mousis
Complex organic molecules are key markers of molecular diversity, and their formation conditions in protoplanetary disks remain an active area of research. These molecules have bee…
A young progenitor for the most common planetary systems in the Galaxy
John H. Livingston, Erik A. Petigura, Trevor J. David +39
The Galaxy's most common known planetary systems have several Earth-to-Neptune-size planets in compact orbits. At small orbital separations, larger planets are less common than the…
Structure of Jupiter's High-Latitude Storms: Folded Filamentary Regions Revealed by Juno
L. N. Fletcher, Z. Zhang, S. Brown +17
Sprawling, turbulent cloud formations dominate the meteorology of Jupiter's mid-to-high latitudes, known as Folded Filamentary Regions (FFRs). A multi-wavelength characterisation b…
Characterising injection signatures in Jupiter's ultraviolet aurora using Juno observations
Linus Head, Denis Grodent, Bertrand Bonfond +12
Discrete features in Jupiter's ultraviolet aurora have been interpreted as signatures of plasma injections in the middle magnetosphere. There exists some ambiguity whether magnetod…
Rotational Light-curve Recovery and Predictions of the LSST Yield of Hildas
Alexander J. Fleming, Jacob A. Kurlander, Dmitrii E. Vavilov +4
The Hilda population occupies the stable 3:2 mean-motion resonance of Jupiter and provides a window into solar system evolution, including collisional processes. The National Scien…
The formation and structure of iron-dominated planetesimals
Terry-Ann Suer, Edgar S. Steenstra, Simone Marchi +2
Metal-rich asteroids and iron meteorites are considered core remnants of differentiated planetesimals and or products of oxygen-depleted accretion. Investigating the origins of iro…
Rings around irregular bodies I. Structure of the resonance mesh, applications to Chariklo, Haumea and Quaoar
Bruno Sicardy, Heikki Salo, Maryame El Moutamid +2
Three ring systems have been discovered to date around small irregular objects of the solar system (Chariklo, Haumea and Quaoar). For the three bodies, material is observed near th…
Modeling the formation of N2 and CH4 frost on Pluto's slopes
L. Lange, T. Bertrand, V. Belissa +3
Context. The equatorial region of Cthulhu as revealed by New Horizons appears to be generally dark and largely devoid of volatiles because its surface albedo is low. Localized brig…
Spatial variability of CH4 and C2H2 absorptions in Jupiter's auroral regions from Juno-UVS observations
