A correlation of the surface color with the de when seen at global scale from large distances. The magnetic field of Ganymede is reported, with areas albedo of the polar caps on the leading side is highest, exposed to the charged particles coming from the of the "regio" areas lowest, and of the "sulci" areas in Jovian environment often being redder than shielded between. (The polar caps of the trailing side will be terrain. The northern polar cap can be subdivided discussed below.) The bright polar caps are probably into a whitish area on the pole and the leading side, caused by water frost (e.g., Smith et al. 1981, Hillier and a darker, reddish area on the trailing side. The frost of the south-polar cap appears less opaque than in the north. The spectra of the dark "regio" areas are redder at the long SSI wavelength range than those of the brighter "sulci" terrains, but not significantly different at short SSI wavelengths.

  • The Origin of Ganymede's Polar Caps

Some models attributed the polar cap formation to thermal migration of water vapor to higher latitudes, while other models implicated plasma bombardment in brightening ice. Only with the arrival of Galileo at Jupiter was it apparent that Ganymede possesses a strong internal magnetic field, which blocks most of the plasma from bombarding the satellite’s equatorial region while funneling plasma onto the polar regions. This discovery provides a plausible explanation for the polar caps as related to differences in plasma-induced brightening in the polar and the equatorial regions. In this context, we analyze global color and high resolution images of Ganymede obtained by Galileo, finding a very close correspondence between the observed polar cap boundary and the open/closed field lines boundary obtained from new modeling of the magnetic field environment. This establishes a clear link between plasma bombardment and polar cap brightening.
