DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2020.113918
Abstract: Abstract Ganymede's surface is subject to constant bombardment by Jovian magnetospheric and Ganymede's ionospheric ions. These populations sputter the surface and contribute to the replenishment of the moon's exosphere. Thus far, estimates for sputtering on… read more here.
