Compositional layering in Io driven by magmatic segregation and volcanism
Dan C. Spencer, Richard F. Katz, Ian J. Hewitt +2
Magmatic segregation and volcanic eruptions transport tidal heat from Io's interior to its surface. Several observed eruptions appear to be extremely high temperature ( 1600…
Tidal controls on the lithospheric thickness and topography of Io from magmatic segregation and volcanism modelling
Dan C Spencer, Richard F Katz, Ian J Hewitt
Tidal heating is expected to impart significant, non-spherically-symmetric structure to Jupiter's volcanic moon Io. A signature of spatially variable tidal heating is generally sou…
Magmatic intrusions control Io's crustal thickness
D. C. Spencer, R. F. Katz, I. J. Hewitt
Io, the most volcanically active body in the solar system, loses heat through eruptions of hot lava. Heat is supplied by tidal heating and is thought to be transferred through the…
