Active moons in our Solar System and beyond -- Io, Europa, Enceladus, Triton, and exomoons
Caroline Haslebacher, Emeline Bolmont, Marco Cilibrasi +19
The outgassing signatures of Io, Europa, Enceladus, Triton, and Io-like exomoons are the focus of this review chapter. The rocky volcanic world of Io is unique in our Solar System,…
Surviving in Ocean Worlds: Experimental Characterization of Fiber Optic Tethers across Europa-like Ice Faults and Unraveling the Sliding Behavior of Ice
Vishaal Singh, Christine McCarthy, Matthew Silvia +5
As an initial step towards in-situ exploration of the interiors of Ocean Worlds to search for life using cryobot architectures, we test how various communication tethers behave und…
Tidal insights into rocky and icy bodies: An introduction and overview
Amirhossein Bagheri, Michael Efroimsky, Julie Castillo-Rogez +7
Solid body tides provide key information on the interior structure, evolution, and origin of the planetary bodies. Our Solar system harbours a very diverse population of planetary…
Formation, Composition, and History of the Pluto System: A Post-New-Horizons Synthesis
William B. McKinnon, Christopher R. Glein, Tanguy Bertrand +1
The Pluto-Charon system provides a broad variety of constraints on planetary formation, composition, chemistry, and evolution. Pluto was the first body to be discovered in what is…
Captured Small Solar System Bodies in the Ice Giant Region
Timothy R. Holt, Bonnie Buratti, Julie Castillo-Rogez +14
This white paper advocates for the inclusion of small, captured Outer Solar system objects, found in the Ice Giant region in the next Decadal Survey. These objects include the Troj…
Ocean Worlds Exploration and the Search for Life
Samuel M. Howell, William C. Stone, Kate Craft +4
This is a community white paper submitted to the Decadal Survey in Planetary Science and Astrobiology, reflecting the views of the NASA Astrobiology Program's Research Coordination…
Charon: A brief history of tides
Alyssa Rose Rhoden, Helle L. Skjetne, Wade G. Henning +9
In 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto and its moon Charon, providing the first clear look at the surface of Charon. New Horizons images revealed an ancient surface,…
Seismicity on Tidally Active Solid-Surface Worlds
T. A. Hurford, W. G. Henning, R. Maguire +8
Tidal interactions between planets or stars and the bodies that orbit them dissipate energy in their interiors. The energy dissipated drives internal heating and a fraction of that…
Vital Signs: Seismology of ocean worlds
Steven D. Vance, Sharon Kedar, Mark P. Panning +9
Ice-covered ocean worlds possess diverse energy sources and associated mechanisms that are capable of driving significant seismic activity, but to date no measurements of their sei…
Linking Europa's plume activity to tides, tectonics, and liquid water
Alyssa R. Rhoden, Terry A. Hurford, Lorenz Roth +1
Much of the geologic activity preserved on Europa's icy surface has been attributed to tidal deformation, mainly due to Europa's eccentric orbit. Although the surface is geological…
The 3 m Spectrum of Jupiter's Irregular Satellite Himalia
M. E. Brown, A. R. Rhoden
We present a medium resolution spectrum of Jupiter's irregular satellite Himalia covering the critical 3 m spectral region. The spectrum shows no evidence for aqueously altered…
