Enceladus erupts

Physics Today, 2023
In the frozen reaches of the outer solar system, one Saturnian moon hosts rich geological activity, sustained by liquid water.

Enceladus' Water Vapor Plume

Science, 2006
The Cassini spacecraft flew close to Saturn's small moon Enceladus three times in 2005. Cassini's UltraViolet Imaging Spectrograph observed stellar occultations on two flybys and confirmed the existence, composition, and regionally confined nature of a water vapor plume in the south polar region of Enceladus.

Activity of Enceladus and proto-Enceladus

2020
<p><strong>Introduction</strong>: Enceladus, a satellite of Saturn, is the smallest celestial body in the Solar System where endogenic activity is observed. Since its accretion, Enceladus has lost about 20% of its mass.  This is the base of hypothesis about proto-Enceladus [1, 2]. It means

Hydrothermal processes on Enceladus

Science, 2017
Planetary Geology Saturn's moon Enceladus has a subsurface ocean covered by a layer of ice. Some liquid escapes into space through cracks in the ice, which is the source of one of Saturn's rings. In October 2015, the Cassini spacecraft flew directly through the plume of escaping material and sampled its chemical composition. Waite et al. found that the

Ongoing hydrothermal activities within Enceladus

Nature, 2015
Detection of sodium-salt-rich ice grains emitted from the plume of the Saturnian moon Enceladus suggests that the grains formed as frozen droplets from a liquid water reservoir that is, or has been, in contact with rock. Gravitational field measurements suggest a regional south polar subsurface ocean of about 10 kilometres thickness located beneath an ...
