Constraints on Europa’s Water Group Torus from HST/COS Observations

Constraints on Europa’s Water Group Torus from HST/COS Observations

In situ plasma measurements as well as remote mapping of energetic neutral atoms around Jupiter provide indirect evidence that an enhancement of neutral gas is present near the orbit of the moon Europa. Simulations suggest that such a neutral gas torus can be sustained by escape from Europa’s atmosp...
