Photoelectrons in the Enceladus plume [PDF]

, 2013
The plume of Enceladus is a remarkable plasma environment containing several charged particle species. These include cold magnetospheric electrons, negative and positive water clusters, charged nanograins, and “magnetospheric photoelectrons” produced ...

Geysers' Dust Dynamics Inside the Hill Sphere of Enceladus

Geophysical Research Letters
In this work, we study the trajectories of the dust particles ejected in the geysers of the moon Enceladus, inside its Hill sphere, where its gravitational influence dominates. Our goal is to determine the properties of the particles that escape from the

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 ...

Investigating the Detectability of Body Wave Phases From Tidal Ice Cracking Events on Titan With the Dragonfly Short‐Period Seismometer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Detecting seismic activity on Saturn's icy moon Titan during the Dragonfly mission could provide crucial information on its internal structure. The geological complexity of the moon's surface suggests significant cyclic tidal deformation, likely leading to the fracturing of the ice shell.

Enceladus's internal ocean and ice shell constrained from Cassini gravity, shape, and libration data

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
The intense plume activity at the South Pole of Enceladus together with the recent detection of libration hints at an internal water ocean underneath the outer ice shell.

Magnetic Field Induced by Convective Flow in Ganymede's Subsurface Ocean

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract It has been suggested that the convective flows in Ganymede's subsurface ocean can generate a magnetic field that is strong enough to be measured by future space missions. Here, we investigate this hypothesis by developing a numerical model of Ganymede's magnetic field induced by the motion of salt water in its interior.

Enceladus: An Active Cryovolcanic Satellite

, 2009
Enceladus is one of the most remarkable satellites in the solar system, as revealed by Cassini's detection of active plumes erupting from warm fractures near its south pole.

Ocean stratification impedes particulate transport to the plumes of Enceladus

Communications Earth & Environment
Water-vapour plumes erupting from Enceladus’ south pole provide a window into the properties of its subsurface ocean, a prime target in the search for life. However, the extent to which plume material represents conditions at Enceladus’ depths is unclear,
