We investigate the tidal dissipation in Io's hypothetical fluid magma ocean using a new approach based on the solution of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations. Our results indicate that the presence of a shallow magma ocean on ...
We present the first 3-D upper-mantle conductivity models obtained by an inversion of the satellite-derived tidally induced magnetic fields (TIMFs). We primarily use the M$_2$ period, but the potential benefit of the O$_1$ ...
Plate tectonics is primarily driven by the constant gravitational pull of slabs where oceanic lithosphere sinks into the mantle at subduction zones. Under stable plate boundary configurations, changes in plate motion are ...
The asthenosphere is commonly defined as an upper mantle zone with low velocities and high attenuation of seismic waves, and high electrical conductivity. These observations are usually explained by the presence of partial ...
Titan is an ocean world with a dense atmosphere, where photochemistry produces complex organic molecules that fall to the surface. An important astrobiological question is whether this material can mix with water and form ...

Satellite magnetic field observations have the potential to provide valuable information on dynamics, heat content and salinity throughout the ocean. Here, we present the expected spatio-temporal characteristics of the ...
Several regularly recurring moderate-size earthquakes motivated dense instrumentation of theParkfield section of the San Andreas fault (SAF), providing an invaluable near-fault observatory. We present aseismo-geodetic ...
The physics potential of detecting B-8 solar neutrinos will be exploited at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO), in a model independent manner by using three distinct channels of the charged-current (CC), ...
A new model of the Rotaphone-D short-period seismic sensor with six degrees of free-dom is introduced. The basis of the instrument is horizontal and vertical geophones in aspecial paired arrangement. The instrument is ...
Mercury's low obliquity and 3:2 spin-orbit resonance create a surface temperature distribution with large latitudinal and longitudinal variations. These propagate via thermal conduction through the thin silicate shell ...
