An upper limit on Enceladus’ obliquity

, 2014
Control point calculations using Cassini images reveal that Enceladus’ obliquity is limited to less than 0.05° (95% confidence level). This definitely rules out models explaining Enceladus’ activity and anomalously high surface heat flows on the basis of

Improving Porosity Calculation Methods and Proposing a New Model Universally Applicable to Large- and Medium-sized Planetary Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
Our work was aimed at the improvement of two main already existing methods of porosity calculation on a planetary scale in order to expand these methods to be applicable to exoplanetary interiors. In addition to implementing some improvements in the used

Enceladus is a Little Bit Gassy!

, 2017
The astroquarks dissect the latest news from Saturn\u27s intriguing moon Enceladus. Molecular hydrogen in its geysers suggest that Enceladus\u27 ocean floor has the same kinds of hydrothermal energy sources that may have powered the origin of life on ...

The Surface Compositon of Enceladus: Clues from the Ultraviolet

, 2009
The reflectance of Saturn's moon Enceladus has been measured at far ultraviolet (FUV) wavelengths (115-190 nm) by Cassini's UltraViolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS).
