The ocean worlds science case for the Pollux spectropolarimeter

Vincent Hue, Bilal Benmahi, Mathieu Barthelemy +9

Pollux is a candidate European instrument contribution to the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), designed to advance our understanding of the formation and evolution of cosmic str…

On the Divergent Evolution of Io and Europa as Primordial Ocean Worlds

Yannis Bennacer, Olivier Mousis, Vincent Hue

The Galilean moons exhibit a decrease in bulk density with distance from Jupiter, which may reflect differences in evolutionary paths and water loss. Early in its history, Jupiter…

Conditions for accretion favoring an unmelted Callisto and a differentiated Ganymede

Yannis Bennacer, Olivier Mousis, Marc Monnereau +2

Analysis of Callisto's moments of inertia, derived from Galileo's gravity data, suggests that its structure is not fully differentiated. This possibly undifferentiated state contra…

Effect of magnetospheric conditions on the morphology of Jupiter's UV main auroral emission, as observed by Juno-UVS

L. A. Head, D. Grodent, B. Bonfond +9

Auroral emissions are a reflection of magnetospheric processes, and, at Jupiter, it is not entirely certain how the morphology of the UV main emission (ME) varies with magnetospher…

Influence of the Jovian current sheet models on the mapping of the UV auroral footprints of Io, Europa, and Ganymede

Jonas Rabia, Quentin Nénon, Nicolas André +4

The in-situ characterization of moon-magnetosphere interactions at Jupiter and the mapping of moon auroral footpaths require accurate global models of the magnetospheric magnetic f…

The Io, Europa and Ganymede auroral footprints at Jupiter in the ultraviolet: positions and equatorial lead angles

Vincent Hue, Randy Gladstone, Corentin K. Louis +16

Jupiter's satellite auroral footprints are a consequence of the interaction between the Jovian magnetic field with co-rotating iogenic plasma and the Galilean moons. The disturbanc…
