Differentiating Plumes and Local Torus Segments of Enceladus
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Enceladus's south polar plumes and their surrounding torus segments (local plasma regions formed by plume material diffusion) are key to understanding its magnetospheric interaction; however, clear observational criteria to distinguish them remain lacking.

A Recent Impact Origin of Saturn’s Rings and Mid-sized Moons
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We simulate the collision of precursor icy moons analogous to Dione and Rhea as a possible origin for Saturn’s remarkably young rings. Such an event could have been triggered a few hundred million years ago by resonant instabilities in a previous ...

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 ...

“Salt Tectonics” on Titan: Radial Labyrinths as Topographic Expressions of Solid‐State Flow
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Surface observations of Saturn's moon Titan revealed features characterized as dissected, elevated plateaus with high valley density known as labyrinth terrains. Of this terrain class, a subtype referred to as radial labyrinth is described as dome‐shaped uplifts with radial channel patterns.

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

A Search for Water Masers in the Saturnian System
, 2010 We searched for H2O 6(1,6)-5(2,3) maser emission at 22.235 GHz from several Saturnian satellites with the Nobeyama 45m radio telescope in May 2009. Observations were made for Titan, Hyperion, Enceladus and Atlas, for which Pogrebenko et al.

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 ...
