Surface ages of mid-size Saturnian satellites [PDF]
, 2015 The observations of the surfaces of the mid sized Saturnian satellites made by Cassini Huygens mission have shown a variety of features that allows study of the processes that took place and are taking place on those worlds.

Aggregate Particles in the Plumes of Enceladus [PDF]
, 2016 Estimates of the total particulate mass of the plumes of Enceladus are important to constrain theories of particle formation and transport at the surface and interior of the satellite.

Exploring the Habitability of the Outer Solar System Icy Moons for the Extremotolerant Yeast Rhodotorula frigidalcoholis. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolWe investigated the survival of the yeast Rhodotorula frigidalcoholis and analysed its RNA after exposure to icy moon conditions. Our results show how the yeast can tolerate the extreme conditions and performs metabolic functions under the exposure conditions; for example, by halting the cell cycle in order to repair. Created in BioRender.

The Carbonate Geochemistry of Enceladus' Ocean
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 The plume composition at Enceladus contains clues about conditions and processes in the interior. We present new geochemical interpretations of Cassini mass spectrometry data from the plume gas and salt‐rich ice grains.

Method for detecting and quantitating capture of organic molecules in hypervelocity impacts
MethodsX, 2021 Enceladus is a prime candidate in the solar system for in-depth astrobiological studies searching for habitability and life because it has a liquid water ocean with significant organic content and ongoing cryovolcanic activity. The presence of ice plumes

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.

The merger that led to the formation of the Milky Way's inner stellar halo and thick disk [PDF]
, 2018 The assembly process of our Galaxy can be retrieved using the motions and chemistry of individual stars. Chemo-dynamical studies of the nearby halo have long hinted at the presence of multiple components such as streams, clumps, duality and correlations ...

The Liquidus Temperature for Methanol-Water Mixtures at High Pressure and Low Temperature, with Application to Titan [PDF]
, 2018 Methanol is a potentially important impurity in subsurface oceans on Titan and Enceladus. We report measurements of the freezing of methanol-water samples at pressures up to 350~MPa using a volumetric cell with sapphire windows. For low concentrations of
