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).

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 ...

Impacts on Ocean Worlds Are Sufficiently Frequent and Energetic to Be of Astrobiological Importance
The Planetary Science JournalEvidence for the beneficial role of impacts in the creation of urable or habitable environments on Earth prompts the question of whether meteorite impacts could play a similar role at other potentially urable/habitable worlds like Enceladus, Europa, and ...

Evidence for multiple crossings and stripping of Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage across the Milky Way
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The accretion of Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage (GES) onto the Milky Way (MW) is one of the most prominent features of the Galactic halo revealed by the combination of the Gaia satellite and large spectroscopic surveys.

Enceladus' Water Vapour Plumes
, 2006 A viewgraph presentation on the discovery of Enceladus water vapor plumes is shown. Conservative modeling of this water vapor is also presented and also shows that Enceladus is the source of most of the water required to supply the neutrals in Saturn's ...

A Potential Mushy Source for the Geysers of Enceladus and Other Icy Satellites
Geophysical Research LettersEnceladus is a target for astrobiology due to the H2O plume ejecta measured by the Cassini spacecraft and the inferred subsurface ocean that could be the source of the geysers.
