Laboratory studies of the interaction of ions with condensed gases: Planetary applications [PDF]

, 1990
The work described is concerned with laboratory studies of the processes that produce the ejection of molecules from the surfaces of condensed gas solids, the change in the chemistry of the surface materials, and the relationship of these results to ...

Observations of Titan’s Stratosphere during Northern Summer: Temperatures, CH3CN and CH3D Abundances

The Planetary Science Journal
Titan’s atmospheric composition and dynamical state have previously been studied over numerous epochs by both ground- and space-based facilities. However, stratospheric measurements remain sparse during Titan’s northern summer and fall.

Near-Infrared Photometry of Irregular Satellites of Jupiter and Saturn

, 2004
We present JHKs photometry of 10 Jovian and 4 Saturnian irregular satellites, taken with the Near-InfraRed Imager (NIRI) at the 8-m Gemini North Observatory on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

Ice Formation, Exsolution, and Multiphase Equilibria in the Methane–Ethane–Nitrogen System at Titan Surface Conditions

The Planetary Science Journal
Titan is unique among the icy satellites in that it has a thick atmosphere, stable surficial bodies of liquid, and a precipitation system that promotes interactions between the two.

Resonant Stratification in Titan’s Global Ocean

The Planetary Science Journal
Titan’s ice shell floats on top of a global ocean, as revealed by the large tidal Love number k _2 = 0.616 ± 0.067 registered by Cassini. The Cassini observation exceeds the predicted k _2 by one order of magnitude in the absence of an ocean, and is 3 σ ...

Saturn's Icy Moon Rhea: a Prediction for Bulk Chemical Composition and Physical Structure at the Time of the Cassini Spacecraft First Flyby

, 2005
I report a model for the formation of Saturn's family of mid-sized icy moons to coincide with the first flypast of Rhea by the Cassini Orbiter spacecraft on 26 November 2005.
