The quadrupole gravity field of Enceladus and its hemispherical asymmetry is determined using Doppler data from three spacecraft flybys to indicate the presence of a negative mass anomaly in the south-polar region, largely compensated by a positive subsurface anomaly compatible with the existence of a regional subsurfaced sea at depths of 30 to 40 kilometers.

The Global Shape, Gravity Field, and Libration of Enceladus

In order to improve our understanding of the interior structure of Saturn's small moon Enceladus, we reanalyze radiometric tracking and onboard imaging data acquired by the Cassini spacecraft during…

Gravity Investigation to Characterize Enceladus's Ocean and Interior

A key objective for the future exploration of the icy moon Enceladus is the characterization of the habitable conditions in its internal ocean. Radio science instrumentation on board a spacecraft in…

Thermally anomalous features in the subsurface of Enceladus’s south polar terrain

Saturn’s moon Enceladus is an active world. In 2005, the Cassini spacecraft witnessed for the first time water-rich jets venting from four anomalously warm fractures (called sulci) near its south…

Measurement and implications of Saturn’s gravity field and ring mass

The results show that Saturn's rings are substantially younger than the planet itself and constrain models of their origin, and five small moons located in and around the rings are presented, confirming that the flows are very deep and likely extend down to the levels where magneticipation occurs.

Evolution of Saturn’s Mid-Sized Moons

A coupled thermal, geophysical and dynamical simulation covering 4.5 Gyr of evolution of Saturn’s inner mid-sized moons shows that, with the possible exception of Mimas, they formed early in Saturn‘s history.

The thermal and orbital evolution of Enceladus : observational constraints and models

Enceladus possesses a global subsurface ocean beneath an ice shell a few tens of km thick, and is observed to be losing heat at a rate of ∼10 GW from its south polar region. Two major puzzles are the…

Gravity Field, Shape, and Moment of Inertia of Titan

Gravity data from four flybys of the Cassini spacecraft past Saturn's moon, Titan, is used to model the moon's gravity field and probe its deep interior structure, implying that Titan is a partially differentiated body with a core consisting of a mix of ice and rock or hydrated silicates.

The Tides of Titan

Gravity data from six flybys of Saturn's moon, Titan, by the Cassini spacecraft suggest that Titan's interior is flexible on tidal time scales with the magnitude of the observed tidal deformations being consistent with the existence of a global subsurface water ocean.

Cassini Encounters Enceladus: Background and the Discovery of a South Polar Hot Spot

Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) detected 3 to 7 gigawatts of thermal emission from the south polar troughs at temperatures up to 145 kelvin or higher, making Enceladus only the third known solid planetary body—after Earth and Io—that is sufficiently geologically active for its internal heat to be detected by remote sensing.

Diapir-induced reorientation of Saturn's moon Enceladus

This work shows that the current polar location of the hotspot of Enceladus can be explained by reorientation of the satellite's rotation axis because of the presence of a low-density diapir, and predicts that the distribution of impact craters on the surface will not show the usual leading hemisphere–trailing hemisphere asymmetry.

An observed correlation between plume activity and tidal stresses on Enceladus

It is reported that the plume’s horizontally integrated brightness is several times greater when Enceladus is near the point in its eccentric orbit where it is furthest from Saturn than it is when close to the point of closest approach to the planet.

Librational response of Enceladus

Physical librations could significantly contribute to Enceladus' geophysics through their influence on tidal stress. Therefore it is important to determine their behavior and the present paper is…
