An interesting set of talks.

Now, it seems the heat is climbing upwards to 13 GW. There may be a heat transition in one of the stripes, but it is too early to be sure of this. The high resolution pass gave lower (around 167K) compared to an earlier pass (187K). There is a pressure constraint that impacts on the "Cold Faithful" and Nimmo friction theories. There seems to be a large error in determining the age of the stripes. From one consideration they might be over 3 billion years old, but from cometary impacts only 400 million years or less. Tidal stress and libration can give heat, but it is unusual that it is not over the entire moon, like Europa, and only at the South Pole.

(Personal comment: Tidal stresses might not be responsible for the stripes, but they may be important for maintaining them and preventing them from "healing" or freezing up)

The flexing of the stripes might be responsible for the "shark fin" features. There was no discusiion of the October 9 data other than to acknowledge its reception. Perhaps the AGU talks will include this recent data.
