Plasma electrons above Saturn's main rings: CAPS observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We present observations of thermal ( similar to 0.6 - 100eV) electrons observed near Saturn's main rings during Cassini's Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) on 1 July 2004. We find that the intensity of electrons is broadly anticorrelated with the ring optical

Constancy of Sexual Dimorphism in the Infracranial Skeleton

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 2, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sexual dimorphism in the human infracranial skeleton has been extensively studied, yet its structural organization across skeletal regions remains incompletely characterized at a global scale. Using a geographically diverse sample of 3177 individuals of known sex (1219 females; 1958 males) drawn from five documented skeletal collections, this ...

Structure of Titan's mid-range magnetic tail: Cassini magnetometer observations during the T9 flyby [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We analyze the magnetic structure of Titan's mid-range magnetic tail (5-6 Titan radii downstream from the moon) during Cassini's T9 flyby. Cassini magnetometer (MAG) measurements reveal a well-defined, induced magnetic tail consisting of two lobes and a ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Mesoscale Modeling of Titan’s Shangri‐La Region: The Impact of Surface Properties on Winds

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The knowledge of Titan’s near‐surface atmosphere is sparse. The Huygens descent probe measured winds, and the multiple dune field observations and possible dust storms suggest active near‐surface dynamics. The Dragonfly rotorcraft lander will fly close to the surface in the Shangri‐La region, near the Huygens landing site, where complex dune ...

Elastic Properties of Titan Tholins Revealed by Brillouin Spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Titan tholins, complex organic solids synthesized by simulating photochemical processes in Titan's atmosphere, are widely regarded as analogs to organic surface materials on the Saturnian moon. Their mechanical properties are critical for understanding the evolution of Titan's geomorphology and crustal layering.

Active Normal Fault Segmentation and Linkage in the Umbria‐Marche Apennines (Italy): Insights From 3D Structural Modeling

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Normal‐fault growth, segmentation, and their relationships with crustal inheritance and rheological layering are investigated in a post‐thrusting setting of the southern sector of the Northern Apennines. We integrate 3D modeling with gravity, thermal, and seismological constraints to reconstruct the geometry and evolution of the main normal ...

Geology of the Selk crater region on Titan from Cassini VIMS observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
International audienceObservations of Titan obtained by the Cassini Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) have revealed Selk crater, a geologically young, bright-rimmed, impact crater located similar to 800 km north-northwest of the Huygens ...

Behavioral Response of Arctocephalus australis to Pedestrian Disturbance During the Breeding Season: Implications for Wildlife Tourism Management

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis) breeds in dense colonies along the Peruvian coast, mostly within protected areas managed by the Servicio Nacional de Áreas Naturales Protegidas por el Estado (SERNANP). To support responsible wildlife tourism near breeding sites, we evaluated the behavioral responses to controlled ...
