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…

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…

A New UV Spectral Feature on Europa: Confirmation of NaCl in Leading-hemisphere Chaos Terrain

Samantha K. Trumbo, Tracy M. Becker, Michael E. Brown +6

Recent visible-wavelength observations of Europa's surface obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope revealed the presence of an absorption feature near 450 nm that appears spatiall…

A sublimated water atmosphere on Ganymede detected from Hubble Space Telescope observations

Lorenz Roth, Nickolay Ivchenko, G. Randall Gladstone +5

Ganymede's atmosphere is produced by charged particle sputtering and sublimation of its icy surface. Previous far-ultraviolet observations of the O{\small I\,}1356-Å and O{\small I…

An attempt to detect transient changes in Io's SO2 and NaCl atmosphere

L. Roth, J. Boissier, A. Moullet +15

Io's atmosphere is predominately SO2 sustained by a combination of volcanic outgassing and sublimation. The loss from the atmosphere is the main mass source for Jupiter's large mag…
