Introduction: The observed presence of grooves on Eros can be interpreted as being solely due to faulting resulting from the transmission of impact shock waves [1]. However, early studies found two large-scale lineations on Eros (Callisto Fossae and Rahe Dorsum) to be coplanar with a large flat region (the southern " facet ") on one end of the asteroid [2]. This CF-RD-SF plane was interpreted a...

Introduction: Galileo images of Europa's northern hemisphere taken at low resolution during the first orbit of Jupiter showed that regional-scale lineaments' orientations followed a systematic progression (clockwise going forward in time) consistent with predicted trends in tidal stress over ~1/6 of a period of non-synchronous rotation [1]. The fit is even better if diur-nal tides, as well as n...

Introduction: Dione (1124 km in diameter) is a mid-sized icy moon of Saturn which shows a wide range in tectonic features across its surface revealing an intense geologic history. With the two highly evolved satellites Enceladus und Titan, Dione forms a set of three satellites whose surfaces have been shaped by tectonic activity on a global, not only on regional scale. Tectonic forms on Dione w...
