Comparing NASA Discovery and New Frontiers Class Mission Concepts for the Io Volcano Observer (IVO)
Christopher W. Hamilton, Alfred S. McEwen, Laszlo Keszthelyi +31
Jupiter's moon Io is a highly compelling target for future exploration that offers critical insight into tidal dissipation processes and the geology of high heat flux worlds, inclu…
Tidal dissipation of binaries in asteroid pairs
Laurent Pou, Francis Nimmo
Tidal dissipation in a celestial body can be used to probe its internal structure. Tides govern the orbital evolution of binary systems and therefore constraints on the interior of…
Long-Term Evolution of the Saturnian System
Matija Ćuk, Maryame El Moutamid, Giacomo Lari +5
Here we present the current state of knowledge on the long-term evolution of Saturn's moon system due to tides within Saturn. First we provide some background on tidal evolution, o…
True Polar Wander of Lava Worlds
Wanying Kang, Francis Nimmo, Feng Ding
As one of the most detectable types of terrestrial planets, lava worlds are highly prioritized targets for exoplanet atmosphere characterization since their atmospheres may reveal…
The thermal-orbital evolution of the Earth-Moon system with a subsurface magma ocean and fossil figure
Brynna G. Downey, Francis Nimmo, Isamu Matsuyama
Various theories have been proposed to explain the Moon's current inclined orbit. We test the viability of these theories by reconstructing the thermal-orbital history of the Moon.…
Large-scale cryovolcanic resurfacing on Pluto
Kelsi N. Singer, Oliver L. White, Bernard Schmitt +22
The New Horizons spacecraft returned images and compositional data showing that terrains on Pluto span a variety of ages, ranging from relatively ancient, heavily cratered areas to…
