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.

The propeller and the frog

, 2010
"Propellers" in planetary rings are disturbances in ring material excited by moonlets that open only partial gaps. We describe a new type of co-orbital resonance that can explain the observed non-Keplerian motions of propellers.

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 ...

Origin of the Different Architectures of the Jovian and Saturnian Satellite Systems

, 2010
The Jovian regular satellite system mainly consists of four Galilean satellites that have similar masses and are trapped in mutual mean motion resonances except for the outer satellite, Callisto.

Measurements of Titan’s Stratospheric Winds during the 2009 Equinox with the eSMA

The Planetary Science Journal
Saturn’s moon Titan possesses stratospheric zonal winds that places it among a sparse class of planetary bodies known to have superrotation in their atmospheres.

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 ...

Origin and Evolution of Saturn's Ring System

, 2009
The origin and long-term evolution of Saturn's rings is still an unsolved problem in modern planetary science. In this chapter we review the current state of our knowledge on this long-standing question for the main rings (A, Cassini Division, B, C), the

Disk resolved studies of the optical properties and physical nature of the surfaces of the outer planet satellites [PDF]

The spatially resolved albedo, color, compaction state, roughness, and constituent particle sizes of the surfaces of the satellites of Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter provide important constraints in understanding the geologic evolution and relevant exogenic
