Good vibrations: Exploring how orbital resonance shapes the Galilean moons

Upcoming missions to the Galilean moons will revolutionize our understanding of their interior evolution, largely governed by their orbital resonance. Yet, to fully understand the feedback between orbit and interior, crucial in determining their habitability potential, continued efforts are needed.

Abstract

Upcoming missions to the Galilean moons will revolutionize our understanding of their interior evolution, largely governed by their orbital resonance. Yet, to fully understand the feedback between orbit and interior, crucial in determining their habitability potential, continued efforts are needed.
