The Spatial Distribution of the Unidentified 2.07 \textmu m Absorption Feature on Europa and Implications for its Origin
M. Ryleigh Davis, Michael E. Brown, Samantha K. Trumbo
A weak absorption feature at 2.07 \textmu m on Europa's trailing hemisphere has been suggested to arise from radiolytic processing of an endogenic salt, possibly sourced from the i…
Masses and densities of dwarf planet satellites measured with ALMA
Michael E. Brown, Bryan J. Butler
We have used the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to measure precise absolute astrometric positions and detect the astrometric wobble of dwarf planet Orcus and its satellite V…
The state of CO and CO2 ices in the Kuiper belt as seen by JWST
Michael E. Brown, Wesley C. Fraser
JWST has shown that CO2 and CO are common on the surfaces of objects in the Kuiper belt and have apparent surface coverages even higher than that of water ice, though water ice is…
Science opportunities with solar sailing smallsats
Slava G. Turyshev, Darren Garber, Louis D. Friedman +25
Recently, we witnessed how the synergy of small satellite technology and solar sailing propulsion enables new missions. Together, small satellites with lightweight instruments and…
The Optical Aurorae of Europa, Ganymede and Callisto
Katherine de Kleer, Zachariah Milby, Carl Schmidt +2
The tenuous atmospheres of the Galilean satellites are sourced from their surfaces and produced by a combination of plasma-surface interactions and thermal processes. Though thin,…
Spectroscopic mapping of Io's surface with HST/STIS: SO frost, sulfur allotropes, and large-scale compositional patterns
Samantha K. Trumbo, M. Ryleigh Davis, Benjamin Cassese +1
Io's intense volcanic activity results in one of the most colorful surfaces in the solar system. Ultraviolet and visible-wavelength observations of Io are critical to uncovering th…
