Solid tidal friction in multi-layer planets: Application to Earth, Venus, a Super Earth and the TRAPPIST-1 planets. Can a multi-layer planet be approximated as a homogeneous planet?
Emeline Bolmont, Sylvain N. Breton, Gabriel Tobie +3
With the discovery of TRAPPIST-1 and its seven planets within 0.06 au, the correct treatment of tidal interactions is becoming necessary. The eccentricity, rotation, and obliquity…
The Science Case for a Titan Flagship-class Orbiter with Probes
Conor A. Nixon, James Abshire, Andrew Ashton +36
We outline a flagship-class mission concept focused on studying Titan as a global system, with particular emphasis on the polar regions. Investigating Titan from the unique standpo…
Photometrically-corrected global infrared mosaics of Enceladus: New implications for its spectral diversity and geological activity
Rozenn Robinel, Stéphane Le Mouélic, Gabriel Tobie +4
Between 2004 and 2017, spectral observations have been gathered by the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) on-board Cassini (Brown et al., 2004) during 23 Enceladus clo…
Science goals and mission concepts for a future orbital and in situ exploration of Titan
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +27
In this white paper, we present a cross-section of important scientific questions that remain partially or completely unanswered, ranging from Titan exosphere to the deep interior,…
Ice Giant Systems: The Scientific Potential of Orbital Missions to Uranus and Neptune
Leigh N. Fletcher, Ravit Helled, Elias Roussos +27
Uranus and Neptune, and their diverse satellite and ring systems, represent the least explored environments of our Solar System, and yet may provide the archetype for the most comm…
Tidal heating in multilayer planets: Application to the TRAPPIST-1 system
Sylvain Breton, Emeline Bolmont, Gabriel Tobie +1
TRAPPIST-1 (Gillon et al. 2017) is an extremely compact planetary system: seven earth-sized planets orbit at distances lower than 0.07 AU around one of the smallest M-dwarf known i…
