Magnetospheric considerations for solar system ice state [PDF]
, 2018 The current lattice configuration of the water ice on the surfaces of the inner satellites of Jupiter and Saturn is likely shaped by many factors. But laboratory experiments have found that energetic proton irradiation can cause a transition in the ...

, 2017 Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe, and Pallene are four Saturnian small moons, discovered by the Cassini spacecraft. Although their orbital characterization has been carried on by a number of authors, their long-term evolution has not been studied in detail so far.

Polarimetry of Water Ice Particles Providing Insights on Grain Size and Degree of Sintering on Icy Planetary Surfaces [PDF]
, 2018 The polarimetry of the light scattered by planetary surfaces is a powerful tool to provide constraints on their microstructure. To improve the interpretation of polarimetric data from icy surfaces, we have developed the POLarimeter for ICE Samples ...

The Challenge of Icy Sample Return Begins With Artemis
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract Throughout the Solar System, volatiles are found as solid ices. Returning ices to Earth for scientific analysis is critical to understanding the formation of a Solar System that bears life. This challenge begins with the Artemis missions to the lunar south polar region, where the coldest lunar regolith is enriched in H2O and other ices—systems

The Potential for Organic Synthesis in the Ocean of Enceladus
The Astrophysical JournalThe Cassini spacecraft detected a soup of organics in the plume of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Those compounds could provide building blocks for the potential emergence or sustenance of microbial life in Enceladus’ subsurface ocean. However, the sources and

On the charge of nanograins in cold environments and Enceladus dust
, 2013 In very-low energy plasmas, the size of nanograins is comparable to the distance (the so-called Landau length) at which the interaction energy of two electrons equals their thermal energy.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.Abstract During Galileo's closest (“E12”) flyby of Europa, a brief burst of wave activity was recorded by the plasma wave instrumentation, PWS. This was speculatively interpreted by Jia et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1038/s41550‐018‐0450‐z) as a 2,100 cm−3 spike in plasma densities from a water plume encounter. While the plasma instrument, PLS, could

Comparing Jupiter and Saturn: dimensionless input rates from plasma sources within the magnetosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 The quantitative significance for a planetary magnetosphere of plasma sources associated with a moon of the planet can be assessed only by expressing the plasma mass input rate in dimensionless form, as the ratio of the actual mass input to some ...
