Neptune's Inner Moons and Rings Are Exposed Icy Body Interiors

M. Ryleigh Davis, Matthew Belyakov, Ian Wong +2

JWST spectroscopy of Neptune's inner moons (Larissa, Galatea, Proteus) and its rings shows no water ice but a distinctive 2.72 µm magnesium‑rich phyllosilicate band, indicating the…

JWST/NIRSpec Observations of Salacia-Actaea and Máni: Exploring Population-level Trends among Water-ice-rich Kuiper Belt Objects

Ian Wong, Bryan J. Holler, Silvia Protopapa +9

We present observations of the midsized Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) SalaciaActaea and Máni, obtained with the Near-Infrared Spectrograph on JWST. The satellite Actaea was fully…
