Past exploration of Jupiter's diverse satellite system has forever changed our understanding
of the unique environments to be found around gas giants, both in our solar system and …

Abstract The Galileo mission to Jupiter revealed that Europa is an ocean world. The Galileo
magnetometer experiment in particular provided strong evidence for a salty subsurface …

The potential habitability of Europa's subsurface ocean depends on its chemical
composition, which may be reflected in that of Europa's geologically young surface …

Jupiter's icy moon, Europa, harbors a subsurface liquid water ocean; the prospect of this
ocean being habitable motivates further exploration of the moon with the upcoming NASA …

A suite of sulfate minerals were characterized spectrally, compositionally, and structurally in
order to develop spectral reflectance–compositional–structural relations for this group of …

The surface of Europa could contain the compositional imprint of an underlying interior
ocean, but competing hypotheses differ over whether spectral observations from the Galileo …

We present new insights into Europa's surface composition on the global scale from linear
spectral modeling of a high spectral resolution data set acquired during a ground-based …

Ocean worlds is the label given to objects in the solar system that host stable, globe-girdling
bodies of liquid water—“oceans”. Of these, the Earth is the only one to support its oceans on …

Recent visible-wavelength observations of Europa's surface obtained with the Hubble
Space Telescope (HST) revealed the presence of an absorption feature near 450 nm that …

The prospect of a future soft landing on the surface of Europa is enticing, as it would create
science opportunities that could not be achieved through flyby or orbital remote sensing …
