Ocean Dynamics of Outer Solar System Satellites
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 Ocean worlds are prevalent in the solar system. Focusing on Enceladus, Titan, Europa, and Ganymede, I use rotating convection theory and numerical simulations to predict ocean currents and the potential for ice‐ocean coupling.

The Case for Enceladus Science
, 2009 Enceladus has taken its place as one of the most remarkable moons in the solar system. When Voyager encountered Enceladus it was noted that its surface showed signs of recent activity with the observations of a large province, which was characterized by ...

Analysis of Enceladus’s Time-variable Space Environment to Magnetically Sound its Interior
The Planetary Science JournalWe provide a comprehensive study of Enceladus’s time-variable magnetic field environment and identify in measurements of the Cassini spacecraft signatures that appear to be consistent with induced fields from the moon’s interior.

Curtain-based Maps of Eruptive Activity in Enceladus’s South-polar Terrain at 15 Cassini Epochs
The Planetary Science JournalWe map surface eruptive activity in Cassini images of Enceladus’s south-polar terrain (SPT) at 15 epochs spanning late 2009 to late 2015 using a refined curtain approach derived from that of J. N. Spitale et al. (S2015).

Enceladus' Water Vapour Plumes
, 2006 A viewgraph presentation on the discovery of Enceladus water vapor plumes is shown. Conservative modeling of this water vapor is also presented and also shows that Enceladus is the source of most of the water required to supply the neutrals in Saturn's ...

, 2016 Saturns icy moon, Enceladus, ejects frozen particles consisting of water and salts indicative of a subsurface ocean. Believed to originate from hydrothermal reactions near the core, the subsequent pressure drop generates boiling liquids that erupt and ...

Constraining the Mass and Energy of Enceladus’ Dissipation Systems [PDF]
NASA’s Cassini mission revealed endogenic activity at the south pole of Saturn’s moon Enceladus. The activity is concentrated along four fractures in Enceladus’ ice shell, which are much warmer than their surroundings and the source of Enceladus’ plumes.

Enceladus auroral hiss emissions during Cassini's grand finale [PDF]
, 2018 Cassini's Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument detected intense auroral hiss emissions during one of its perikrone passes of the Grand Finale orbits. The emissions were detected when Cassini traversed a flux tube connected to Enceladus' orbit (

Evidence for multiple crossings and stripping of Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage across the Milky Way
Astronomy & AstrophysicsContext. The accretion of Gaia-Enceladus/Sausage (GES) onto the Milky Way (MW) is one of the most prominent features of the Galactic halo revealed by the combination of the Gaia satellite and large spectroscopic surveys.

Formation of electron radiation belts at Saturn by Z-mode wave acceleration
Nature Communications, 2018 Radial diffusion is the only mechanism considered to accelerate trapped electrons to relativistic energies in Saturn’s magnetic field, forming radiation belts.
