We present thermal observations of Callisto's leading and trailing hemispheres obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at 0.87 mm (343 GHz), 1.3 mm (233 GHz), and 3 mm (97 GHz). The angular resolution achieved…
Thermal images at different wavelengths probe varying subsurface depths of planetary bodies, and therefore can inform us about their compositions, thermophysical properties, and impact histories. We identified six archival observations of…
We present four daytime thermal images of Europa taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. Together, these images comprise the first spatially resolved thermal dataset with complete coverage of Europa's surface. The resulting…
We present best-fit values of porosity -- and the corresponding effective thermal inertiae -- determined from three different depths in Europa's near-subsurface (~1-20 cm). The porosity of the upper ~20 cm of Europa's subsurface varies…

The intensity of radiation at millimeter wavelengths from the solar atmosphere is closely related to the plasma temperature and the height of formation of the radiation is wavelength dependent. From that follows that the slope of the…

Using Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the quiet Sun at 1.26 and 3 mm, we study spatially resolved oscillations and transient brightenings, i.e. small, weak events of energy release. Both phenomena may…
We use data from Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer CIRS to map Mimas' surface temperatures and its thermophysical properties. This provides a dramatic improvement on the work in Howett et al. (2011), where the values were determined…
Observations of the Sun at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths offer a unique probe into the structure, dynamics, and heating of the chromosphere; the structure of sunspots; the formation and eruption of prominences and filaments; and…
Prominences (PRs) are among the most common solar phenomena, yet their full physical picture, particularly their chromospheric mm emission, remains incomplete. The new Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) presents an…
