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…

Conceptual framework for the application of deep neural networks to surface composition reconstruction from Mercury's exospheric data

Adrian Kazakov, Anna Milillo, Alessandro Mura +19

Surface information derived from exospheric measurements at planetary bodies complements surface mapping provided by dedicated imagers, offering critical insights into surface rele…

Synchronized Eruptions on Io: Evidence of Interconnected Subsurface Magma Reservoirs

A. Mura, R. Lopes, F. Nimmo +17

On December 27, 2024, Juno's JIRAM infrared experiment observed an unprecedented volcanic event on Io's southern hemisphere, covering a vast region of ~ 65,000 square km, near 73°S…

Vertical and temporal H3+ structure at the auroral footprint of Io

A. Mura, A. Moirano, V. Hue +10

We report the first observation of the vertical and temporal structure of the H3+ emission at the auroral footprint of Io, as observed by Juno/JIRAM. The brightness vertical profil…

Widespread occurrence of lava lakes on Io observed from Juno

Alessandro Mura, Federico Tosi, Francesca Zambon +13

We report recent observations of lava lakes within patera on Io made by the JIRAM imager/spectrometer on board the Juno spacecraft, taken during close observation occurred in the e…

Multiple subglacial water bodies below the south pole of Mars unveiled by new MARSIS data

Sebastian Emanuel Lauro, Elena Pettinelli, Graziella Caprarelli +10

The detection of liquid water by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) at the base of the south polar layered deposits in Ultimi Scopuli has reinv…

Radar evidence of subglacial liquid water on Mars

R. Orosei, S. E. Lauro, E. Pettinelli +19

The presence of liquid water at the base of the Martian polar caps has long been suspected but not observed. We surveyed the Planum Australe region using the Mars Advanced Radar fo…
