Composition and stability of salts on the surface of Europa and their oceanic origin

We present theoretical models of the composition, the relative abundances, and the stability of hydrated salts on the surface and in the icy shell of Jupiter's satellite Europa and discuss whether those salts have an oceanic origin. The evaluations were done with thermodynamic calculations of (...
