Why study the Galilean Satellites? - Diverse & interesting planetary bodies - Local analogue to planetary systems - Can give insight to general formation processes.

Observations: I. Physical Properties  (g/cm 3 ) I/MR 2 Io Europa Ganymede Callisto

Observations: II. Orbital Properties Eccentricity Inclination (  ) Io Europa Ganymede Callisto

Resonances: I. When a small perturbation adds coherently over time, the system is in resonance. A mean motion resonance can occur when the ratio of two orbital frequencies is a small integer.

Resonances: II. Splitting – When satellites orbit an oblate planet, the components of a resonance split into several closely spaced resonances.

The Laplace Resonance Tidal Origin: The outward migration of the satellites due to tides from Jupiter collected the inner three satellites into the resonance. Primordial Origin: Inward migration during the formation era collected the satellites into the resonance.

Resonances: I. When a small perturbation adds coherently over time, the system is in resonance. A mean motion resonance can occur when the ratio of two orbital frequencies is a small integer.

Resonances: I. When a small perturbation adds coherently over time, the system is in resonance. A mean motion resonance can occur when the ratio of two orbital frequencies is a small integer.

The 3:1 Resonance at R J /day

The 3:1 Resonance at R J /day

The 3:1 Resonance - Summary If the Laplace resonance is primordial, Ganymede must have passed through the 3:1 resonance with Callisto. Simulations: such a passage typically leads to inclinations of a degree or more. No known process can damp inclinations  Argues for a tidal origin for the assembly of the Galilean satellites into the Laplace resonance.

Resonances: I. When a small perturbation adds coherently over time, the system is in resonance. A mean motion resonance can occur when the ratio of two orbital frequencies is a small integer.

The 5:2 Resonance at R J /day

The 5:2 Resonance at R J /day

So, what have we learned? 2:1 resonance – can deliver an early heat pulse to both satellites, but preferentially heats Ganymede. 5:2 resonance – third order resonance  much more difficult to study. Our preliminary results suggest that the present day inclinations might be explained by passage through this resonance. 3:1 resonance – probably did not occur. If we can confirm this result, then the primordial assembly of the satellites into resonance did not take place.
