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…
Noble gas depletion on Titan: Clathrate sequestration during the open ocean phase
Alizée Amsler Moulanier, Olivier Mousis, Alexis Bouquet +1
A plausible explanation for the absence of primordial argon, krypton, and xenon in Titan's current atmosphere is that these gases were sequestered in clathrate hydrates during Tita…
Primordial Origin of Methane on Eris and Makemake Supported by D/H Ratios
Olivier Mousis, Aaron Werlen, Tom Benest Couzinou +1
Deuterium, a heavy isotope of hydrogen, is a key tracer of the formation of the Solar System. Recent JWST observations have expanded the dataset of D/H ratios in methane on the KBO…
Understanding the formation of Saturn's regular moons in the context of giant planet moons formation scenarios
Michel Blanc, Aurélien Crida, Yuhito Shibaike +7
This article explores the different formation scenarios of the Kronian moons system in the context of a highly dissipative Saturn, with the objective of identifying the most likely…
