  1. 1. Antarctic Subglacial Lakes as Environmental Analogues for Possible Hidden Biospheres on the Moons Europa and Enceladus

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jonas Fahlman; [2023]
    Keywords : astrobiology; icy moons; subglacial lakes; ice dynamics; thermal regimes; extremophiles; anthropogenic contamination; astrobiologi; ismånar; subglaciala sjöar; is-dynamik; termiska regimer; extremofiler; antropologisk kontaminering;

    Abstract : The evolving science of astrobiology for the search for life beyond Earth has put focus on the possibility of subsurface bodies of liquid water beneath the surface of icy moons within our Solar System. Specifically, the Jovian moon of Europa and the Saturnian moon of Enceladus show telling characteristics of endogenous heating through their complex tidal resonances with their parent planets – suggesting the presence of oceans of liquid water and therefore a potential for astrobiology.

  3. 2. A quantitative analysis of plume gas distributions from different detection studies on Europa

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Anujan Ranganathan; [2023]
    Keywords : Europa; Water; Plume distribution; Surface Density; Column Density; Total number of molecules; Europa; Vatten; Plym Distribution; Ytdensitet; Kolumndensitet; Total mängd molekyler;

    Abstract : The search for water has been vital in our solar system as water indicates a potential for life. The search has been extended to satellites orbiting the outer planets. It has already been proven that water exists on Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, where the spacecraft Cassini did a flyby through a water plume. READ MORE

  4. 3. James Webb Space Telescope Observations of Jupiter’s Moon Europa

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Aulon Nura; Isac Engblom; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The creation of life has puzzled humanity since the dawn of time. With the launch of thecutting-edge James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) at last year's closing, the next step in humanity'ssearch for life has been taken. READ MORE

  5. 4. Investigation of sub-surface ocean induction on Jupiter's icy moon Europa

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen; Uppsala universitet/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Cornelia Ekvall; [2022]
    Keywords : rymdfysik; Jupiter; Europa; magnetiskdipol; JUICE;

    Abstract : Following previous studies, a theoretical model for the induced magnetic field by Europa, one of Jupiter's icy moons, is presented. The aim of the model is to find evidence for the existence of a sub-surface ocean on the moon. READ MORE

  6. 5. Probing for plumes in observations of Europa in transit over Jupiter : A data analysis using Hubble Space Telescope images

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Emil Larsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Europa; Jupiter; Hubble Space Telescope; Water; Plumes; Europa; Jupiter; Hubbleteleskopet; Vatten; Plymer;

    Abstract : In 2016 Sparks et al. [14] reported evidence of water plumes above the Galilean moon Europa. Their method consisted of creating a model image of Europa transiting Jupiter and analytically comparing it with an actual far-ultraviolet observation from the Hubble Space Telescope. In 2020 Giono et al. READ MORE
