Revealing Callisto's carbon-rich surface and CO2 atmosphere with JWST

Richard J. Cartwright, Geronimo L. Villanueva, Bryan J. Holler +18

We analyzed spectral cubes of Callisto's leading and trailing hemispheres, collected with the NIRSpec Integrated Field Unit (G395H) on the James Webb Space Telescope. These spatial…

Experimental Characterization of the Pyridine:Acetylene Co-crystal and Implications for Titan's Surface

Ellen C. Czaplinski, Tuan H. Vu, Morgan L. Cable +3

Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has a plethora of organic compounds in the atmosphere and on the surface that interact with each other. Cryominerals such as co-crystals may influence…

Modeling transmission windows in Titan's lower troposphere: Implications for infrared spectrometers aboard future aerial and surface missions

Paul Corlies, George D. McDonald, Alexander G. Hayes +10

From orbit, the visibility of Titan's surface is limited to a handful of narrow spectral windows in the near-infrared (near-IR), primarily from the absorption of methane gas. This…
