Low-spin ferrous iron suppresses mantle oxidation beyond Earth-like pressures

Alice Girani, Sylvain Petitgirard, Sergey Yaroslavstsev +5

The Earth's mantle has elevated Fe relative to those of other rocky bodies, yet the oxidation- and electronic state of iron at extreme pressures is poorly known. We present…

Estimation of the tidal heating in the TRAPPIST-1 planets. Influence of the internal structure

Emeline Bolmont, Mariana Sastre, Alexandre Revol +2

With the arrival of JWST observations of the TRAPPIST-1 planets, it is timely to reassess the contribution of tidal heating to their heat budget. JWST thermal phase curves could re…

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…

Investigating the extent of bladed terrain on Pluto via photometric surface roughness

I. Mishra, R. Dhingra, B. J. Buratti +2

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft discovered fields of sub-parallel sets of steep ridges situated in the high-altitude, low-latitude regions in Pluto's encounter hemisphere called 'bl…

The Atmosphere of Titan in Late Northern Summer from JWST and Keck Observations

Conor A. Nixon, Bruno Bézard, Thomas Cornet +42

Saturn's moon Titan undergoes a long annual cycle of 29.45 Earth years. Titan's northern winter and spring were investigated in detail by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft (2004-2017)…

SIEGE IV: compact star clusters in cosmological simulations with high star formation efficiency and sub-parsec resolution

R. Pascale, F. Calura, E. Vesperini +10

The formation of compact high-redshift star-forming clumps, the physical processes driving their evolution and their potential connection to present-day Globular Clusters are key o…
