The Ultraviolet Spectrograph on ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer Mission (JUICE-UVS)

Kurt D. Retherford, Philippa M. Molyneux, Thomas K. Greathouse +51

The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) mission, led by ESA, has an Ultraviolet Spectrograph (JUICE-UVS) contributed by NASA and built at Southwest Research Institute. JUICE-UVS is…

A patchy CO exosphere on Ganymede revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope

Dominique Bockelée-Morvan, Olivier Poch, Françcois Leblanc +25

Jupiter's icy moon Ganymede has a tenuous exosphere produced by sputtering and possibly sublimation of water ice. To date, only atomic hydrogen and oxygen have been directly detect…

Constraints on Europa's water group torus from HST/COS observations

Lorenz Roth, H. Todd Smith, Kazuo Yoshioka +8

In-situ plasma measurements as well as remote mapping of energetic neutral atoms around Jupiter provide indirect evidence that an enhancement of neutral gas is present near the orb…

Electron Impact Ionization in the Icy Galilean Satellites' Atmospheres

Shane R. Carberry Mogan, Robert E. Johnson, Audrey Vorburger +1

Electron impact ionization is critical in producing the ionospheres on many planetary bodies and, as discussed here, is critical for interpreting spacecraft and telescopic observat…

Probing Ganymede's atmosphere with HST Ly images in transit of Jupiter

Lorenz Roth, Gregorio Marchesini, Tracy M. Becker +6

We report results from far-ultraviolet observations by the Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter's largest moon Ganymede transiting across the planet's dayside hemisphere. {Within} a t…

Callisto's atmosphere: First evidence for H2 and constraints on H2O

Shane R. Carberry Mogan, Orenthal J. Tucker, Robert E. Johnson +8

We explore the parameter space for the contribution to Callisto's H corona observed by the Hubble Space Telescope (Roth et al. 2017a) from sublimated H2O and radiolytically produce…
