Neptune's Inner Moons and Rings Are Exposed Icy Body Interiors
M. Ryleigh Davis, Matthew Belyakov, Ian Wong +2
Neptune's single large moon, Triton, is accompanied by a set of dusty rings and small moons whose composition and origin are uncertain. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, we obs…
Deuterated water and the formation of the satellites of Uranus
Michael E. Brown, Matthew Belyakov, Swaroop Chandra +5
The satellites of Uranus orbit in a low-eccentricity, equatorial plane that is tilted by 98 degrees relative to the solar system -- a geometry that mirrors Uranus's extreme axial t…
Nereid as a Regular Satellite of Neptune
Matthew Belyakov, M. Ryleigh Davis, Ian Wong +2
Nereid, Neptune's third largest moon, is considered to be a captured irregular satellite due to its highly eccentric orbit. However, among irregular satellites, Nereid is an outlie…
Formation and Trapping of CO2 from Cryogenic Irradiation of Carbonate
Ashma Pandya, Swaroop Chandra, Michael E. Brown
The detection of CO2 on the Jovian satellite Europa by Galileo NIMS and recent mapping of the leading side by JWST has revealed that it is most concentrated in geologically young t…
The Fate of Frozen Carbonated Water at Europa-like Conditions
Swaroop Chandra, William T. P. Denman, Michael E. Brown
We present the results of experiments probing the retention of CO2 in crystalline water ice, frozen sodium chloride (NaCl) brines, and flash-frozen carbonated water using diffuse r…
Deuterated water ice on the satellites of Saturn
Michael E. Brown, Samantha K. Trumbo, M. Ryleigh Davis +1
The deuterium to hydrogen ratio in water ice in a planetary body carries important information on the history of water processing and delivery in the protostellar nebula. For a gia…
Europa's HO: Temperature Insensitivity and a Correlation with CO
Peiyu Wu, Samantha K. Trumbo, Michael E. Brown +1
HO is part of Europa's water-ice radiolytic cycle and a potential source of oxidants to Europa's subsurface ocean. However, factors controlling the concentration of this cr…
A Contact Binary Satellite of the Asteroid (152830) Dinkinesh
Harold F. Levison, Simone Marchi, Keith S. Noll +3
Asteroids with diameters less than about 5 km have complex histories because they are small enough for radiative torques, YORP, to be a notable factor in their evolution. (152830)…
The distribution of CO on Europa indicates an internal source of carbon
Samantha K. Trumbo, Michael E. Brown
Jupiter's moon Europa has a subsurface ocean, the chemistry of which is largely unknown. Carbon dioxide (CO) has previously been detected on the surface of Europa, but it was n…
Io's Optical Aurorae in Jupiter's Shadow
Carl Schmidt, Mikhail Sharov, Katherine de Kleer +13
Decline and recovery timescales surrounding eclipse are indicative of the controlling physical processes in Io's atmosphere. Recent studies have established that the majority of Io…
