The Blinking Crystallinity Of Europa: A Competition Between Irradiation And Thermal Alteration - Astrobiology

Summary by astrobiology.com
The surface of Europa experiences a competition between thermally-induced crystallization and radiation-induced amorphization processes, leading to changes of its crystalline structure. The non-linear crystallization and temperature-dependent amorphization rate, incorporating ions, electrons and UV doses, are integrated into our multiphysics surface model (MSM) LunaIcy, enabling simulations of these coupled processes on icy moons. Thirty simulat…
