Transformative Planetary Science with the US ELT Program
Michael H. Wong, Karen J. Meech, Mark Dickinson +4
The proposed US Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) Program would secure national open access to at least 25% of the observing time on the Thirty Meter Telescope in the north and the G…
The science enabled by a dedicated solar system space telescope
Cindy L. Young, Michael H. Wong, Kunio M. Sayanagi +35
The National Academy Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Science (CAPS) made a recommendation to study a large/medium-class dedicated space telescope for planetary science, goi…
Architectures and Technologies for a Space Telescope for Solar System Science
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Cindy L. Young, Lynn Bowman +37
We advocate for a mission concept study for a space telescope dedicated to solar system science in Earth orbit. Such a study was recommended by the Committee on Astrobiology and Pl…
The Science Case for Spacecraft Exploration of the Uranian Satellites
Richard J. Cartwright, Chloe B. Beddingfield, Tom Nordheim +14
The five classical Uranian moons are possible ocean worlds that exhibit bizarre geologic landforms, hinting at recent surface-interior communication. However, Uranus' classical moo…
Evidence for ammonia-bearing species on the Uranian satellite Ariel supports recent geologic activity
Richard J. Cartwright, Chloe B. Beddingfield, Tom A. Nordheim +6
We investigated whether ammonia-rich constituents are present on the surface of the Uranian moon Ariel by analyzing 32 near-infrared reflectance spectra collected over a wide range…
Probing the regoliths of the classical Uranian satellites: Are their surfaces mantled by a layer of tiny H2O ice grains?
Richard J. Cartwright, Joshua P. Emery, William M. Grundy +3
We investigate whether the surfaces of the classical moons of Uranus are compositionally stratified, with a thin veneer of mostly tiny H2O ice grains (<= 2 micron diameters) mantli…
