Thermophysical Properties of Europa's Surface Constrained by Galileo Photopolarimeter-Radiometer Temperature Measurements
L. Lange, S. Piqueux, P. O. Hayne +10
Thermal measurements constrain the physical properties of icy satellite surfaces, including grain size, porosity, and regolith structure. On Europa, analyses of the Galileo Photopo…

Thermal Segregation and Reddening in Europa's Double Ridges
Kya C. Sorli, Paul O. Hayne, Lucas Lange +1
Europa's double ridges often display lower albedo and redder color than their surroundings. Their unique topography may cause sublimation-driven darkening due to illumination and s…

A 3D thermophysical model for binary asteroid systems: Application to the BYORP effect on (175706) 1996 FG3
Kya C. Sorli, Paul O. Hayne, Rachel H. Cueva +3
Differential heating and radiation on asymmetric asteroids can cause measurable changes in their rotation rates and spin axes, known as the YORP effect. In binary systems, such rad…
