Jupiter Science Enabled by ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
Leigh N. Fletcher, Thibault Cavalié, Davide Grassi +47
ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) will provide a detailed investigation of the Jovian system in the 2030s, combining a suite of state-of-the-art instruments with an orbital…
Constraints on the lunar core viscosity from tidal deformation
Arthur Briaud, Agnès Fienga, Daniele Melini +8
We use the tidal deformations of the Moon induced by the Earth and the Sun as a tool for studying the inner structure of our satellite. Based on measurements of the degree-two tida…
White Paper on the Case for Landed Mercury Science
Paul K. Byrne, David T. Blewett, Nancy L. Chabot +5
We advocate for establishing key scientific priorities for the future of Mercury exploration, including the development of specific science goals for a landed mission. We support t…
Science Objectives of the Ganymede Laser Altimeter (GALA) for the JUICE Mission
Jun Kimura, Hauke Hussmann, Shunichi Kamata +11
Laser altimetry is a powerful tool for addressing the major objectives of planetary physics and geodesy, and have been applied in planetary explorations of the Moon, Mars, Mercury,…
The reference frames of Mercury after MESSENGER
Alexander Stark, Jürgen Oberst, Frank Preusker +3
We report on recent refinements and the current status for the rotational state models and the reference frame of the planet Mercury. We summarize the performed measurements of Mer…
Frequency-dependent tidal dissipation in a viscoelastic Saturnian core and expansion of Mimas' semi-major axis
Daigo Shoji, Hauke Hussmann
Regarding tidal dissipation in Saturn, usually parameterized by Saturn's quality factor Q, there remains a discrepancy between conventional estimates and the latest determination t…
Mercury's resonant rotation from secular orbital elements
Alexander Stark, Jürgen Oberst, Hauke Hussmann
We used recently produced Solar System ephemerides, which incorporate two years of ranging observations to the MESSENGER spacecraft, to extract the secular orbital elements for Mer…
Spin-orbit coupling for tidally evolving super-Earths
Adrián Rodríguez, Nelson Callegari, Tatiana A. Michtchenko +1
We investigate the spin behavior of close-in rocky planets and the implications for their orbital evolution. Considering that the planet rotation evolves under simultaneous actions…
OSS (Outer Solar System): A fundamental and planetary physics mission to Neptune, Triton and the Kuiper Belt
Bruno Christophe, Linda J. Spilker, John D. Anderson +46
The present OSS mission continues a long and bright tradition by associating the communities of fundamental physics and planetary sciences in a single mission with ambitious goals…
Tidal friction in close-in satellites and exoplanets. The Darwin theory re-visited
Sylvio Ferraz-Mello, Adrián Rodríguez, Hauke Hussmann
This report is a review of Darwin's classical theory of bodily tides in which we present the analytical expressions for the orbital and rotational evolution of the bodies and for t…
Stability of Terrestrial Planets in the Habitable Zone of Gl 777 A, HD 72659, Gl 614, 47 Uma and HD 4208
N. Asghari, C. Broeg, L. Carone +37
We have undertaken a thorough dynamical investigation of five extrasolar planetary systems using extensive numerical experiments. The systems Gl 777 A, HD 72659, Gl 614, 47 Uma and…
