Constraining Electron-Impact Ionization of O Through UV Aurora Observations at Ganymede
Stefan Duling, Joachim Saur, Darrell Strobel +3
While photoionization rates of Ganymede's O dominated atmosphere are well constrained, the contribution of electron-impact ionization is rather uncertain. Previous quantitative…
A Comparison of Geminid Models with the PSP/WISPR-observed Phaethon Dust Trail
Karl Battams, Galina O. Ryabova, Angel J. Gutarra-Leon +3
White-light observations from the WISPR instrument on NASA's Parker Solar Probe recently revealed the presence of a narrow, dense dust trail close to the orbit of asteroid 3200 Pha…
A Rotational Disruption Crisis for Zodiacal Dust
Kedron Silsbee, Brandon S. Hensley, Jamey R. Szalay +2
A systematic torque from anisotropic radiation can rapidly spin up irregular grains to the point of breakup. We apply the standard theory of rotational disruption from radiative to…
Diverse dust populations in the near-Sun environment characterized by PSP/ISIS
M. M. Shen, J. R. Szalay, P. Pokorný +9
The Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (ISIS) energetic particle instrument suite on Parker Solar Probe is dedicated to measuring energetic ions and electrons in th…
Size distribution of small grains in the inner zodiacal cloud
J. R. Szalay, P. Pokorný, D. M. Malaspina
The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft has transited the inner-most regions of the zodiacal cloud and detects impacts to the spacecraft body via its electric field instrument. Mul…
Properties of electrons accelerated by the Ganymede-magnetosphere interaction: survey of Juno high-latitude observations
J. Rabia, V. Hue, N. Andre +16
The encounter between the Jovian co-rotating plasma and Ganymede gives rise to electromagnetic waves that propagate along the magnetic field lines and accelerate particles by reson…
Mass supply from Io to Jupiter's magnetosphere
L. Roth, A. Blöcker, K. de Kleer +24
Since the Voyager mission flybys in 1979, we have known the moon Io to be both volcanically active and the main source of plasma in the vast magnetosphere of Jupiter. Material lost…
How long-lived grains dominate the shape of the Zodiacal Cloud
Petr Pokorny, Althea V. Moorhead, Marc J. Kuchner +2
Grain-grain collisions shape the 3-dimensional size and velocity distribution of the inner Zodiacal Cloud and the impact rates of dust on inner planets, yet they remain the least u…
Source of radio emissions induced by the Galilean moons Io, Europa and Ganymede: in situ measurements by Juno
C. K. Louis, P. Louarn, B. Collet +13
At Jupiter, part of the auroral radio emissions are induced by the Galilean moons Io, Europa and Ganymede. Until now, except for Ganymede, they have been only remotely detected, us…
Formation, Structure, and Detectability of the Geminids Meteoroid Stream
Wolf Z. Cukier, Jamey R. Szalay
The Geminids meteoroid stream produces one of the most intense meteor showers at Earth. It is an unusual stream in that its parent body is understood to be an asteroid, (3200) Phae…
The Io, Europa and Ganymede auroral footprints at Jupiter in the ultraviolet: positions and equatorial lead angles
Vincent Hue, Randy Gladstone, Corentin K. Louis +16
Jupiter's satellite auroral footprints are a consequence of the interaction between the Jovian magnetic field with co-rotating iogenic plasma and the Galilean moons. The disturbanc…
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…
Continued PSP/WISPR Observations of a Phaethon-related Dust Trail
Karl Battams, Angel J. Gutarra-Leon, Brendan M. Gallagher +7
We present an update to the first white-light detections of a dust trail observed closely following the orbit of asteroid (3200) Phaethon, as seen by the Wide-field Imager for Park…
Modeling Meteoroid Impacts on the Juno spacecraft
Petr Pokorný, Jamey R. Szalay, Mihály Horányi +1
Events which meet certain criteria from star tracker images onboard the Juno spacecraft have been proposed to be due to interplanetary dust particle impacts on its solar arrays. Th…
Collisional Evolution of the Inner Zodiacal Cloud
J. R. Szalay, P. Pokorny, D. M. Malaspina +9
The zodiacal cloud is one of the largest structures in the solar system and strongly governed by meteoroid collisions near the Sun. Collisional erosion occurs throughout the zodiac…
Using Dust Shed from Asteroids as Microsamples to Link Remote Measurements with Meteorite Classes
Barbara A. Cohen, Jamey R. Szalay, Andrew S. Rivkin +6
Given the compositional diversity of asteroids, and their distribution in space, it is impossible to consider returning samples from each one to establish their origin. However, th…
Solar System Ice Giants: Exoplanets in our Backyard
Abigail Rymer, Kathleen Mandt, Dana Hurley +110
Future remote sensing of exoplanets will be enhanced by a thorough investigation of our solar system Ice Giants (Neptune-size planets). What can the configuration of the magnetic f…
Plutos interaction with its space environment: Solar Wind, Energetic Particles & Dust
F. Bagenal, M. Horányi, D. J. McComas +23
The New Horizons spacecraft carried three instruments that measured the space environment near Pluto as it flew by on 14 July 2015. The Solar Wind Around Pluto instrument revealed…
The Pluto system: Initial results from its exploration by New Horizons
S. A. Stern, F. Bagenal, K. Ennico +148
The Pluto system was recently explored by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, making closest approach on 14 July 2015. Pluto's surface displays diverse landforms, terrain ages, albedos…
