The Galilean satellites.
NASA's Galileo mission to Jupiter and improved Earth-based observing capabilities have allowed major advances in our understanding of Jupiter's moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto over the past few years. Particularly exciting findings include the evidence for internal liquid water oceans in Callisto and Europa, detection of a strong intrinsic magnetic field within Ganymede, discovery of h...
متن کاملCratering rates on the Galilean satellites.
We exploit recent theoretical advances toward the origin and orbital evolution of comets and asteroids to obtain revised estimates for cratering rates in the jovian system. We find that most, probably more than 90%, of the craters on the Galilean satellites are caused by the impact of Jupiter-family comets (JFCs). These are comets with short periods, in generally low-inclination orbits, whose d...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Radiation effects on the surfaces of the Galilean satellites
The surfaces of Jupiter’s moons are profoundly weathered by jovian charged particle and solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Although early observations of the Galilean satellites suggested that their reflectance spectra were modified by energetic particles, it has only recently been shown quantitatively that radiolysis and photolysis, the chemical alteration of a surface by charge-particles and...
متن کاملVisible Spectral Reflectance Measurements of the Galilean Satellites of Jupiter
New spectral reflectance measurements of the Galilean satellites of' Jupiter were obtained in November, 1975 at the 224 cm. telescope at Mauna Kea Observatory, Hawaii. A prism spectrograph with a silicon vidicon detector was used in the spectral region 0.3-1.06 pm. These new measurements are of a higher wavelength resolution than previous measurements. The results are compared with earlier meas...
