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…

Diurnal temperature variations and migrating thermal tides in the Martian lower atmosphere observed by the Emirates Mars InfraRed Spectrometer
Siteng Fan, François Forget, Michael D. Smith +12
The Martian atmosphere experiences large diurnal variations due to the ~24.6 h planetary rotation and its low heat capacity. Understanding such variations on a planetary scale is l…

Observations of Water Frost on Mars with THEMIS: Application to the Presence of Brines and the Stability of (Sub)Surface Water Ice
L. Lange, S. Piqueux, C. S. Edwards +4
Characterizing the exchange of water between the Martian atmosphere and the (sub)surface is a major challenge for understanding the mechanisms that regulate the water cycle. Here w…
