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…

Surface Composition of Pluto's Kiladze Area and Relationship to Cryovolcanism

A. Emran, C. M. Dalle Ore, D. P. Cruikshank +1

A link between exposures of water (HO) ice with traces of an ammoniated compound (e.g., a salt) and the probable effusion of a water-rich cryolava onto the surface of Pluto…

A Predicted Dearth of Majority Hypervolatile Ices in Oort Cloud Comets

C. M. Lisse, G. R. Gladstone, L. A. Young +30

We present new, ice species-specific New Horizons/Alice upper gas coma production limits from the 01 Jan 2019 MU69/Arrokoth flyby of Gladstone et al. (2021) and use them to make pr…
