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…
Peculiar rainbows in Saturn's E ring: Uncovering luminous bands near Enceladus
Niels Rubbrecht, Stéphanie Cazaux, Benoît Seignovert +4
We report observations of stripe-like features in Enceladus' plumes captured simultaneously by Cassini's VIMS-IR and ISS NAC instruments during flyby E17, with similar patterns see…
Open Questions and Future Directions in Titan Science
Conor A. Nixon, Natalie Carrasco, Christophe Sotin
In this chapter we attempt to distill the very large number of possible future inquiries of Titan into a relatively concise list of twenty high level questions - each of which of w…
Drifts of the sub-stellar points of the TRAPPIST-1 planets
Revol Alexandre, Émeline Bolmont, Mariana Sastre +4
Accurate modeling of tidal interactions is crucial for interpreting recent JWST observations of the thermal emissions of TRAPPIST-1~b and c and for characterizing the surface condi…
What trade-off for astronomy between greenhouse gas emissions and the societal benefits? A sociological approach
P. Hennebelle, M. Barsuglia, F. Billebaud +6
The threat posed to humanity by global warming has led scientists to question the nature of their activities and the need to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from research. Unti…
Emergence of tip singularities in dissolution patterns
Martin Chaigne, Sabrina Carpy, Marion Massé +3
Chemical erosion, one of the two major erosion processes along with mechanical erosion, occurs when a soluble rock like salt, gypsum or limestone is dissolved in contact with a wat…
Spin evolution of Venus-like planets subjected to gravitational and thermal tides
Alexandre Revol, Émeline Bolmont, Gabriel Tobie +5
The arrival of powerful instruments will provide valuable data for the characterization of rocky exoplanets. It is then crucial to accurately model the dynamical state of exoplanet…
Dynamic reorientation of tidally locked bodies: application to Pluto
Vojtěch Patočka, Martin Kihoulou, Ondřej Čadek
Planets and moons reorient in space due to mass redistribution associated with various types of internal and external processes. While the equilibrium orientation of a tidally lock…
Planetary Exploration Horizon 2061 Report, Chapter 4: From planetary exploration goals to technology requirements
Jérémie Lasue, Pierre Bousquet, Michel Blanc +19
This chapter reviews for each province and destination of the Solar System the representative space missions that will have to be designed and implemented by 2061 to address the si…
High and dry: billion-year trends in the aridity of river-forming climates on Mars
Edwin S. Kite, Axel Noblet
Mars' wet-to-dry transition is a major environmental catastrophe, yet the spatial pattern, tempo, and cause of drying are poorly constrained. We built a globally-distributed databa…
Tectonics of Cerberus Fossae unveiled by marsquakes
Simon C. Stähler, Anna Mittelholz, Clément Perrin +8
The InSight mission has measured Mars' seismicity since February 2018 and has allowed to investigate tectonics on another planet. Seismic data shows that most of the widely distrib…
Investigating Mercury's Environment with the Two-Spacecraft BepiColombo Mission
A. Milillo, M. Fujimoto, G. Murakami +76
The ESA-JAXA BepiColombo mission will provide simultaneous measurements from two spacecraft, offering an unprecedented opportunity to investigate magnetospheric and exospheric dyna…

T. Spohn, T. L. Hudson, E. Marteau +31
The NASA InSight Lander on Mars includes the Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package HP to measure the surface heat flow of the planet. The package uses temperature sensors t…
Gravitational atmospheric tides as a probe of Titan's interior: Application to Dragonfly
Benjamin Charnay, Gabriel Tobie, Sébastien Lebonnois +1
Context: Saturn's massive gravity is expected to causes a tide in Titan's atmosphere, producing a surface pressure variation through the orbit of Titan and tidal winds in the tropo…
