    Abstract :  In July 2031, a new chapter in the exploration of the Jovian system will begin with the arrival of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) at Jupiter. Launched on April 14 2024 as part of ESA’s Cosmic Vision programme, the mission aims to study Jupiter and its icy Galilean moons Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. READ MORE

  3. 2. Using the James Webb Space Telescope to Find Carbon Dioxide on Ganymede

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

    Author : Olof Helgesson; Oscar Lundin; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to search for CO₂ on Ganymede by studyingobservations taken by the James Webb Space Telescope and in doing so, create aprocessing pipeline for JWST data. The data is collected by JWST's Near InfraredSpectrograph instrument which is used for spectroscopy in the near infrared spectrum. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling Ganymede’s Aurora

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

    Author : James Tammila; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A 3D model of Ganymede’s aurora is created using captured data from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The data is processed into 24 images and analyzed. A 3D grid is generated around the moon to implement a functional model to describe the aurora. READ MORE

  5. 4. Modeling Far Ultraviolet Auroral Ovals at Ganymede

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

    Author : Carl Daniel Ahlberg; Wera Mauritz; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ganymede, one of Jupiters moons, differs from other moons in the Solar System as it has its own magnetic field. This rare property shapes the morphology on the existing far ultraviolet oxygen auroral ovals on the celestial body in the northern and southern hemisphere created by high energy electrons colliding into the atmosphere.

  6. 5. Ganymede's hydrogen corona and FUV albedo from HST/STIS images

    University essay from KTH/Rymd- och plasmafysik

    Author : Juan Alday Parejo; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ganymedes är största månen i vårt Solsystem, och är ett föremål för intensiv vetenskaplig forskning under senaste decenier. Sedan 1998, STIS (Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph) instrumentet ombord rymdteleskopet Hubble (HST) har observerat Ganymedes i UV ljus med våglängder mellan 1150 Å och 1730 Å i fem olika omgångar.
