| Session Description | This session will be dedicated to outer planet satellites and rings and icy dwarf planets beyond Neptune. The session will include solicited, contributed, and poster presentations addressing (1) interior structure and thermal evolution, (2) surface geology and composition, (3) orbital dynamics and satellite interaction, (4) structure and dynamics of planetary rings, (5) physical properties of ring particles and small satellites. We particularly encourage contributions on the geodynamics of active bodies like Enceladus, Triton, and Io. |
