Longitudinal Variation of H2O Ice Absorption on Miranda

Many tidally locked icy satellites in the outer solar system show leading/trailing hemispherical asymmetries in the strength of near-infrared (NIR) H2O ice absorption bands, in which the absorption…

Evidence for Ammonia-bearing Species on the Uranian Satellite Ariel Supports Recent Geologic Activity

We investigated whether ammonia-rich constituents are present on the surface of the Uranian moon Ariel by analyzing 32 near-infrared reflectance spectra collected over a wide range of sub-observer…
