Observations of Loki Patera by Juno during Close Flybys by Alessandro Mura, Rosaly M. C. Lopes, Federico Tosi, Francesca Zambon, Roberto Sordini, Peter J. Mouginis-Mark, Julie Rathbun, Scott Bolton, Jani Radebaugh, Alberto Adriani, Andrea Cicchetti, Davide Grassi, Melissa Mirino, Raffaella Noschese, Giuseppe Piccioni, Christina Plainaki, Giuseppe Sindoni

“…Modeling the slow rate of cooling suggests there is a significant volume of magma beneath the crust to provide the latent heat necessary to decelerate the cooling. A thermal propagation that may represent the signature of a resurfacing wave, going from the southwest of the lake to the north, was observed with a velocity of ∼2–3 km day ^−1 . …”
