Buto Facula, Ganymede: Palimpsest Exemplar
Jeffrey M. Moore, Oliver L. White, Donald G. Korycansky +3
Nowhere in the solar system are impact morphologies observed in greater variety than on the icy Galilean satellites. This is likely a consequence of the structural and thermal stat…
Large Impact Features on Ganymede and Callisto as Revealed by Geological Mapping and Morphometry
Oliver L. White, Jeffrey M. Moore, Paul M. Schenk +4
We have performed topographic and geological mapping of 19 large impact features on Ganymede and Callisto in order to gather morphometric and crater age data that allow us to quant…
Dome Craters on Ganymede and Callisto May Form by Topographic Relaxation of Pit Craters Aided by Remnant Impact Heat
Martina L. Caussi, Andrew J. Dombard, Donald G. Korycansky +3
The icy Galilean satellites display impact crater morphologies that are rare in the Solar System. They deviate from the archetypal sequence of crater morphologies as a function of…
The Properties and Origins of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth's Large Mounds
S. A. Stern, O. L. White, Wm. Grundy +10
We report on a study of the mounds that dominate the appearance of Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) (486958) Arrokoth's larger lobe, named Wenu. We compare the geological context of these…
The science case for spacecraft exploration of the Uranian satellites: Candidate ocean worlds in an ice giant system
Richard J. Cartwright, Chloe B. Beddingfield, Tom A. Nordheim +15
The 27 satellites of Uranus are enigmatic, with dark surfaces coated by material that could be rich in organics. Voyager 2 imaged the southern hemispheres of Uranus' five largest '…
Morphological Comparison of Blocks in Chaos Terrains on Pluto, Europa, and Mars
Helle L. Skjetne, Kelsi N. Singer, Brian M. Hynek +12
Chaos terrains are characterized by disruption of preexisting surfaces into irregularly arranged mountain blocks with a chaotic appearance. Several models for chaos formation have…
