Dr. Eshleman will use the radar capabilities of the telescope at                the Arecibo Observatory to conduct detailed studies of the                      surfaces of Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto (large, ice-clad moons               of Jupiter).  The data will be compared to theoretical predictions              from models of the surfaces of these moons.  The emphasis will be               on the geophysical significance of the results.                                                                                                                 Ice and icy surfaces are ubiquitous in the outer Solar System.                  One potentially important source of information about these                     surfaces is from radar experiments.  Radar echoes have been                     obtained from Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, from the particles                in Saturn's rings, from several dozen asteroids, and from five                  comets.  The icy moons are the best studied of these, and they                  have radar echoes profoundly different from the well-understood                 returns of the rocky planets and our Moon.  Dr. Eshleman will                   obtain new radar observations of the icy moons of Jupiter to                    better understand reasons for the anomalous radar characteristics               of these objects.
