Following the Oxidants to Enceladus

open access: yes, 2007
Potentially habitable bodies beyond the Earth are expected at minimum to have organics, liquid water, and oxidants. Simple hydrocarbon organics, potentially from breakdown of more complex molecules, have been measured in the plume gas of Enceladus, and a

Analysis of Ion Cyclotron Waves during Cassini’s Flybys of Enceladus

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Ion cyclotron waves (ICWs) are ubiquitous phenomena within Saturn’s magnetosphere, particularly in the vicinity of Enceladus. This study focuses on the Cassini spacecraft’s flyby data of Enceladus to investigate the spatial distribution and properties of

Ocean Dynamics of Outer Solar System Satellites

open access: yesGeophysical 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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Computing the Radiant Energy Budget of Enceladus

open access: yes, 2022
One of the most important findings from the 20-year (1997-2017) Cassini mission is the discovery of jet plumes on Enceladus (e.g., a small satellite of Saturn with a size ~ 500 km).

Enceladus auroral hiss emissions during Cassini's grand finale [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 (

Analysis of Enceladus’s Time-variable Space Environment to Magnetically Sound its Interior

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
We 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.

No sodium in the vapour plumes of Enceladus

open access: yesNature, 2009
The discovery of water vapour and ice particles erupting from Saturn's moon Enceladus fuelled speculation that an internal ocean was the source. Alternatively, the source might be ice warmed, melted or crushed by tectonic motions. Sodium chloride (that is, salt) is expected to be present in a long-lived ocean in contact with a rocky core.
