  Description:

    Abstract:

      The Philus Sulcus quadrangle is located in the anti-Jovian

      hemisphere of Ganymede, the third and largest of the

      Galilean satellites. The 180° meridian defining the

      quadrangle’s east boundary passes through the anti-Jovian

      point at the equator, and the 270° meridian forming the

      quadrangle’s west boundary crosses the trailing point in

      the satellite’s orbit. Ganymede consists of a mixture of

      rock and ice having an average density of 1.93 g/cm 3

      (Smith and others, 1979a, b). The high albedo of the

      satellite’s surface (40 to 60 percent) and absorption

      features in its spectrum suggest that water ice is the

      dominant surface material and that it is intermixed with at

      least several percent of silicates and minerals containing

      oxidized iron (Clark and others, 1986). The surface is

      about equally divided between light and dark materials

      whose albedos may differ as a result of slightly different

      silicate contents. Both materials contain craters ranging

      in morphology from fresh (sharp rims and bright rays) to degraded.
