Tidal dissipation in stars and giant planets
GI Ogilvie - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2014 - annualreviews.org
Astrophysical fluid bodies that orbit close to one another induce tidal distortions and flows
that are subject to dissipative processes. The spin and orbital motions undergo a coupled …

Ocean worlds in the outer solar system
Many outer solar system bodies are thought to harbor liquid water oceans beneath their ice
shells. This article first reviews how such oceans are detected. We then discuss how they …

Enceladus's measured physical libration requires a global subsurface ocean
Several planetary satellites apparently have subsurface seas that are of great interest for,
among other reasons, their possible habitability. The geologically diverse saturnian satellite …

Resonance locking in giant planets indicated by the rapid orbital expansion of Titan
Saturn is orbited by dozens of moons, and the intricate dynamics of this complex system
provide clues about its formation and evolution. Tidal friction within Saturn causes its moons …

Geophysical characterization of the interiors of Ganymede, Callisto and Europa by ESA's JUpiter ICy moons Explorer
Abstract The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) of ESA was launched on 14 April 2023
and will arrive at Jupiter and its moons in July 2031. In this review article, we describe how …

Resonance locking as the source of rapid tidal migration in the Jupiter and Saturn moon systems
J Fuller, J Luan, E Quataert - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
The inner moons of Jupiter and Saturn migrate outwards due to tidal energy dissipation
within the planets, the details of which remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that …

Enceladus's internal ocean and ice shell constrained from Cassini gravity, shape, and libration data
The intense plume activity at the South Pole of Enceladus together with the recent detection
of libration hints at an internal water ocean underneath the outer ice shell. However, the …

Enceladus's ice shell structure as a window on internal heat production
Its extraordinary level of geologic activity, its potential for habitability, and the prospects of
returning samples from its plume of erupting water ice make Saturn's small (∼ 500 km …

Ice-ocean exchange processes in the Jovian and Saturnian satellites
A growing number of satellites in the outer solar system likely have global oceans beneath
their outer icy shells. While the presence of liquid water makes these ocean worlds …
