Constraints on Europa’s Sub-Surface Ice from Juno Microwave Radiometer Observations
AGU 2024
planetary sciences | 12 december 2024
Steven Levin, Zhimeng Zhang, Scott J. Bolton, Shan...
In September of 2022, the Microwave Radiometer (MWR) on the Juno spacecraft collected 5 minutes of data from within a few hundred km of Europa. The ob...

Observations of the Spatial and Power Distributions of Io’s Hotspot-Sourced Heat Flux
AGU 2024
planetary sciences | 11 december 2024
Michael Sowell, David J. Stevenson
The Jovian moon Io is the most volcanically-active body in the Solar System, and these volcanic sources source over half of Io’s total heat flux. Rece...

A Primordial Venus Moon Might Explain the Planet's Slow Rotation
AGU 2024
planetary sciences | 09 december 2024
Mira Menezes, David J. Stevenson
Earth's slow rotation period (24 hours) arose because of the tidal recession of the Moon.A more typical formation period for large bodies forming from...

The Fuzzy Cores of Jupiter and Saturn
AGU ADVANCES
04 april 2024
Ravit Helled, David J. Stevenson
New interior models of Jupiter and Saturn suggest that both planets have “fuzzy cores.” These cores should be viewed as central regions...
Juno Microwave Radiometer Observations of Europa’s and Ganymede’s Subsurface Ice Shell
