Plasma, plumes and rings: Saturn system dynamics as recorded in global color patterns on its midsize icy satellites

P Schenk, DP Hamilton, RE Johnson, WB McKinnon… - Icarus, 2011 - Elsevier
New global maps of the five inner midsize icy saturnian satellites, Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys,
Dione, and Rhea, have been constructed in three colors (UV, Green and near-IR) at …

Cassini finds an oxygen–carbon dioxide atmosphere at Saturn's icy moon Rhea

BD Teolis, GH Jones, PF Miles, RL Tokar, BA Magee… - Science, 2010 - science.org
The flyby measurements of the Cassini spacecraft at Saturn's moon Rhea reveal a tenuous
oxygen (O2)–carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere. The atmosphere appears to be sustained …

Composition, structure, dynamics, and evolution of Saturn's rings

LW Esposito - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2010 - annualreviews.org
Cassini observations confirm that Saturn's rings are predominantly water ice. The particles in
Saturn's rings cover a range of sizes, from dust to small moons. Occultation results show the …

Ring particle composition and size distribution

J Cuzzi, R Clark, G Filacchione, R French… - Saturn from Cassini …, 2009 - Springer
We review recent progress concerning the composition and size distribution of the particles
in Saturn's main ring system, and describe how these properties vary from place to place …

Late origin of the Saturn system

E Asphaug, A Reufer - Icarus, 2013 - Elsevier
Saturn is orbited by a half dozen ice rich middle-sized moons (MSMs) of diverse geology
and composition. These comprise∼ 4.4% of Saturn's satellite mass; the rest is Titan, more …

Three tenuous rings/arcs for three tiny moons

MM Hedman, CD Murray, NJ Cooper, MS Tiscareno… - Icarus, 2009 - Elsevier
Using Cassini images, we examine the faint material along the orbits of Methone, Anthe and
Pallene, three small moons that reside between the orbits of Mimas and Enceladus. A …

Fundamental plasma processes in Saturn's magnetosphere

BH Mauk, DC Hamilton, TW Hill… - Saturn from Cassini …, 2009 - Springer
In this chapter, we review selected fundamental plasma processes that control the extensive
space environment, or magnetosphere, of Saturn (see Chapter 9, for the global context) …
