Formation of electron radiation belts at Saturn by Z-mode wave acceleration
Nature Communications, 2018 Radial diffusion is the only mechanism considered to accelerate trapped electrons to relativistic energies in Saturn’s magnetic field, forming radiation belts.

Sustained eruptions on Enceladus explained by turbulent dissipation in tiger stripes
, 2016 Spacecraft observations suggest that the plumes of Saturn's moon Enceladus draw water from a subsurface ocean, but the sustainability of conduits linking ocean and surface is not understood.

Dynamical Evidence for a Late Formation of Saturn's Moons
, 2016 We explore the past evolution of Saturn's moons using direct numerical integrations. We find that the past Tethys-Dione 3:2 orbital resonance predicted in standard models likely did not occur, implying that the system is less evolved than previously ...

Analysis of Enceladus’s Time-variable Space Environment to Magnetically Sound its Interior
The Planetary Science JournalWe provide a comprehensive study of Enceladus’s time-variable magnetic field environment and identify in measurements of the Cassini spacecraft signatures that appear to be consistent with induced fields from the moon’s interior.

Curtain-based Maps of Eruptive Activity in Enceladus’s South-polar Terrain at 15 Cassini Epochs
The Planetary Science JournalWe map surface eruptive activity in Cassini images of Enceladus’s south-polar terrain (SPT) at 15 epochs spanning late 2009 to late 2015 using a refined curtain approach derived from that of J. N. Spitale et al. (S2015).

Mapping spiral waves and other radial features in Saturn's rings
, 2017 We have analyzed the highest-quality images to be obtained by Cassini of Saturn's main rings after the Saturn Orbit Insertion (SOI) and before the Ring Grazing Orbits (RGO) and Grand Finale (GF).

Exchange of ejecta between Telesto and Calypso: Tadpoles, horseshoes, and passing orbits
, 2010 We have numerically integrated the orbits of ejecta from Telesto and Calypso, the two small Trojan companions of Saturn's major satellite Tethys. Ejecta were launched with speeds comparable to or exceeding their parent's escape velocity, consistent with ...

Exploring the Interior Structure and Mode of Tidal Heating in Enceladus
The Planetary Science JournalEnceladus is among the most intriguing bodies in the solar system due to its astrobiological potential. Determining the extent and duration of habitability (i.e., sustained habitability ) requires characterizing the interior properties and the level and ...
