The science case for spacecraft exploration of the Uranian satellites: Candidate ocean worlds in an ice giant system
Richard J. Cartwright, Chloe B. Beddingfield, Tom A. Nordheim +15
The 27 satellites of Uranus are enigmatic, with dark surfaces coated by material that could be rich in organics. Voyager 2 imaged the southern hemispheres of Uranus' five largest '…
Automated crater shape retrieval using weakly-supervised deep learning
Mohamad Ali-Dib, Kristen Menou, Alan P. Jackson +2
Crater ellipticity determination is a complex and time consuming task that so far has evaded successful automation. We train a state of the art computer vision algorithm to identif…
Ejection of rocky and icy material from binary star systems: Implications for the origin and composition of 1I/`Oumuamua
Alan P. Jackson, Daniel Tamayo, Noah Hammond +2
In single star systems like our own Solar system, comets dominate the mass budget of bodies that are ejected into interstellar space, since they form further away and are less tigh…
Recent Tectonic Activity on Pluto Driven by Phase Changes in the Ice Shell
Noah P. Hammond, Amy C. Barr, Edgar M. Parmentier
The New Horizons spacecraft has found evidence for geologic activity on the surface of Pluto, including extensional tectonic deformation of its water ice bedrock (see Moore et al.,…
A Common Origin for Ridge-and-Trough Terrain on Icy Satellites by Sluggish Lid Convection
Amy C. Barr, Noah P. Hammond
Ridge-and-trough terrain is a common landform on outer Solar System icy satellites. Examples include Ganymede's grooved terrain, Europa's gray bands, Miranda's coronae, and several…
Topographic Constraints on the Origin of the Equatorial Ridge on Iapetus
Erika Lopez Garcia, Edgard G. Rivera-Valentin, Paul M. Schenk +2
Saturn's moon Iapetus has an equatorial ridge system, which may be as high as 20 km, that may have formed by endogenic forces, such as tectonic and convective forces, or exogenic p…
