Europa's ocean translates interior tidal heating patterns to the ice-ocean boundary
Daphné G. Lemasquerier, Carver J. Bierson, Krista M. Soderlund
The circulation in Europa's ocean determines the degree of thermal, mechanical and chemical coupling between the ice shell and the silicate mantle. Using global direct numerical si…
Photochemically-produced SO in the atmosphere of WASP-39b
Shang-Min Tsai, Elspeth K. H. Lee, Diana Powell +82
Photochemistry is a fundamental process of planetary atmospheres that regulates the atmospheric composition and stability. However, no unambiguous photochemical products have been…
A Simple Condensation Model for the H2SO4-H2O Gas-cloud System on Venus
Longkang Dai, Xi Zhang, Wencheng D. Shao +2
The current Venus climate is largely regulated by globally-covered concentrated sulfuric acid clouds from binary condensation of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and water (H2O). To understan…
A Near Surface Temperature Model of Arrokoth
O. M. Umurhan, W. M. Grundy, M. K. Bird +19
A near surface thermal model for Arrokoth is developed based on the recently released facet model of the body. This thermal solution takes into account Arrokoth's surface re…
A bimodal distribution of haze in Pluto's atmosphere
Siteng Fan, Peter Gao, Xi Zhang +8
Pluto, Titan, and Triton make up a unique class of solar system bodies, with icy surfaces and chemically reducing atmospheres rich in organic photochemistry and haze formation. Haz…
Revisiting the Sulfur-Water Chemical System in the Middle Atmosphere of Venus
Wencheng D. Shao, Xi Zhang, Carver J. Bierson +1
Sulfur-water chemistry plays an important role in the middle atmosphere of Venus. Ground based observations have found that simultaneously observed SO2 and H2O at ~64 km vary with…
