The Ultraviolet Spectrograph on ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer Mission (JUICE-UVS)
Kurt D. Retherford, Philippa M. Molyneux, Thomas K. Greathouse +51
The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission, led by ESA, has an Ultraviolet Spectrograph (JUICE-UVS) contributed by NASA and built at Southwest Research Institute. JUICE-UVS is…
Tracing the source of carbon oxides on the large moons of Uranus
Richard J. Cartwright, Sasha Cryan, Rosario Brunetto +15
The Uranian moons Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon are enriched in CO2 mixed with CO, but the origin(s) of these carbon oxides, be they primarily native or radiolytic, remains u…
The ocean worlds science case for the Pollux spectropolarimeter
Vincent Hue, Bilal Benmahi, Mathieu Barthelemy +9
Pollux is a candidate European instrument contribution to the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), designed to advance our understanding of the formation and evolution of cosmic str…
Assessing Ocean World Habitability with HWO
Richard J. Cartwright, Lynnae Quick, Marc Neveu +5
The instrument payload of the future Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will span a wide range of wavelengths, including the ultraviolet (UV) region that cannot be easily accessed…
Laboratory Investigation of CO2-Driven Enhancement of Radiolytic H2O2 on Europa and Other Icy Moons
Bereket D. Mamo, Ujjwal Raut, Ben D. Teolis +5
Observations of Europa's leading hemisphere reveal elevated H2O2 in the warmer, low latitude chaos terrains compared to the colder, polar regions. This distribution disagrees with…
JWST Reveals Spectral Tracers of Recent Surface Modification on Europa
Richard J. Cartwright, Charles A. Hibbits, Bryan J. Holler +9
Europa has been modified by a variety of geologic processes, exposing internally-derived materials that are heavily irradiated by charged particles trapped in Jupiter's magnetosphe…
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…
Catalog of Ultraviolet Bright Stars (CUBS): Strategies for UV occultation measurements, planetary illumination modeling, and sky map analyses using hybrid IUE-Kurucz spectra
M. A. Velez, K. D. Retherford, V. Hue +9
Ultraviolet spectroscopy is a powerful method to study planetary surface composition through reflectance measurements and atmospheric composition through stellar/solar occultations…
Ultraviolet-Based Science in the Solar System: Advances and Next Steps
Amanda R. Hendrix, Tracy M. Becker, Dennis Bodewits +25
We review the importance of recent UV observations of solar system targets and discuss the need for further measurements, instrumentation and laboratory work in the coming decade.…
Photolysis of pure solid O3 and O2 films at 193 nm
U. Raut, M. J. Loeffler, M. Famá +1
We studied quantitatively the photochemistry of solid O3 and O2 films at 193 nm and 22 K with infrared spectroscopy and microgravimetry. Photolysis of pure ozone destroyed O3, but…
