The dynamics and evolution of Venus' mantle are of first-order relevance for the origin and
modification of the tectonic and volcanic structures we observe on Venus today. Solid-state …

Despite its small size, Enceladus emits considerable heat, especially at its south pole, even
long after simple thermal models predict it should be frozen. Several sources of energy have …

Many objects in the solar system are suspected to have experienced reorientation of their
spin axes. As their rotation rates are slow and their shapes are nearly spherical, the …

We investigated the effect of variations in ice shell thickness and of the tiger stripe fractures
crossing Enceladus' south polar terrain on the moon's tidal deformation by performing finite …

There is a direct relation between the composition of a host star and that of the planets
orbiting around it. As such, the recent discovery of stars with unusual chemical composition …

The ice shell on Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, exhibits strong asymmetry between the
northern and southern hemispheres, with all known geysers concentrated over the south …

The ice shell of Enceladus exhibits strong asymmetry between its hemispheres, with all
known geysers concentrated over the south pole, even though its orbital configuration is …

We develop a long-term 1-D evolution model for icy satellites that couples multiple
processes: water migration and differentiation, geochemical reactions and silicate phase …

In this study we investigate the relative importance of endogenic vs. exogenic stresses in
controlling the location and timing of active ice-shell deformation on Enceladus, which is …

We use three‐dimensional numerical experiments of thin shell convection to explore what
effects an expected latitudinal variation in solar insolation may have on a convection. We …
