Description for Satellites of the Outer Solar System: Exchange Processes Involving the Interiors
paperback. This book offers an up-to-date view of what we know and understand of the moons of outer planets. It examines their complexity, their internal differentiation, their geological and/or atmospheric activity, their still poorly known history and evolution. Editor(s): Grasset, O.; Blanc, M.; Coustenis, Athena; Durham, William; Hussmann, H.; Pappalardo, R.; Turrini, D. Series: Space Sciences Series of ISSI. Num Pages: 540 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PGS; PNR; TTDS; VXQB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 28. Weight in Grams: 819.
Recent space missions to the outer solar system, Galileo (1996–2003) and Cassini-Huygens (2004–today), together with ground observations, have revealed that the moons of the outer solar system are enigmatic objects, introducing extraordinary challenges for geologists, astrobiologists, organic chemists, and planetologists. Chemical exchange exists through the different layers that form their interiors, and also from the interior to the surface. The most convincing evidence is certainly the discovery of water vapour and ice particles emerging from Enceladus’s active south polar region. Evidence for exchange with a subsurface liquid ocean has also been provided by the inference of hydrated salts on the ... Read more
