Cascading parallel fractures on Enceladus
Douglas J. Hemingway, Maxwell L. Rudolph, Michael Manga
Active eruptions from the south polar region of Saturn's small (~500 km diameter) moon Enceladus are concentrated along a series of lineaments known as the `tiger stripes', thought…
Seismicity on Tidally Active Solid-Surface Worlds
T. A. Hurford, W. G. Henning, R. Maguire +8
Tidal interactions between planets or stars and the bodies that orbit them dissipate energy in their interiors. The energy dissipated drives internal heating and a fraction of that…
Seasonal melting and the formation of sedimentary rocks on Mars, with predictions for the Gale Crater mound
Edwin S. Kite, Itay Halevy, Melinda A. Kahre +2
A model for the formation and distribution of sedimentary rocks on Mars is proposed. The rate-limiting step is supply of liquid water from seasonal melting of snow or ice. The mode…
Climate instability on tidally locked exoplanets
Edwin S. Kite, Eric Gaidos, Michael Manga
Feedbacks that can destabilize the climates of synchronously-rotating rocky planets may arise on planets with strong day-night surface temperature contrasts. Earth-like habitable-z…
Chaos, storms and climate on Mars
Edwin S. Kite, Scot C. R. Rafkin, Timothy Michaels +2
Channel networks on the plateau adjacent to Juventae Chasma have the highest drainage densities reported on Mars.We model frozen precipitation on the Juventae plateau,finding that…
Localized precipitation and runoff on Mars
Edwin S. Kite, Timothy I. Michaels, Scot Rafkin +2
We use the Mars Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (MRAMS) to simulate lake storms on Mars, finding that intense localized precipitation will occur for lake size >=10^3 km^2. Mar…
