Scientific paper

Differences in crater morphology between the Jovian and Saturnian-Uranian ice satellites implies a weaker surface strength for Ganymede and Callisto and thus a more concentrated composition of water. This compositional anomaly among the ice satellites is apparently due to a more complete migration of heavy material toward the inner part of the pre-planetary disc of the Jovian system than occurred in the discs of the Saturnian and Uranian systems.
