We analyze the radial distribution of electron populations inside 20 Rs in Saturn's magnetosphere, and we calculate moments for these populations by a forward modeling …
Jupiter's moon Europa, which is thought to possess a large liquid water ocean beneath its icy crust, is one of the most compelling targets in the search for life beyond Earth. Its …
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 …

We report sample results on Saturn magnetospheric energetic ion spectral shapes using measurements obtained from the Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument (MIMI) suite onboard …
The existence of planetary radiation belts with relativistic electron components means that powerful acceleration mechanisms are operating within their volume. Mechanisms that bring …
