The orientations of the albedo lineaments, bands, and lineations on Europa's surface have been compared in previous studies with the global stress fields set up by orbital eccentricity, orbital recession, and nonsynchronous rotation. Of these orbital

Gas drag is a possible mechanism for capturing Triton. We examine the energetics of gas drag capture, compare the role of gas drag in subsequent orbital evolution with that of tides, and evaluate whether a Triton captured by gas drag could have avoid

The effective cohesion of the cratered region during crater collapse is determined via the widths of slump terraces of complex craters. Terrace widths are measured for complex craters on Mercury; these generally increase outward toward the rim for a
