Implications of shallow-shell models for topographic relaxation on icy satellites
Colin R. Meyer, Aaron G. Stubblefield, Brent M. Minchew +4
Icy satellites host topography at many length scales, from rifts and craters on the small end to equatorial-pole shell thickness differences that are comparable to these bodies' ci…

A Spectral Method to Compute the Tides of Laterally-Heterogeneous Bodies
Marc Rovira-Navarro, Isamu Matsuyama, Alexander Berne
Body tides reveal information about planetary interiors and affect their evolution. Most models to compute body tides rely on the assumption of a spherically-symmetric interior. Ho…
