The libration of the saturnian satellite dione B
Icarus, 1981Previously published positions of Dione B are combined with new observations reported in this paper to determine its motion. The data are fit to the analytic solution of Erdi (1978) to derive the parameters of the libratory motion. The satellite oscillates about the leading equilateral libration point (L4) of Dione with a period of 785.0 + or - 0.5 ...

An evolutionary framework for the Jovian and Saturnian satellites
Earth, Moon, and Planets, 1987The position of the satellite within the protonebula, the influence of the parent planet, particularly the relative effects of tidal (gravitational) as opposed to radiogenic (internal) heat generating processes, as well as the type of ice, exert a control on the evolutionary histories of the Jovian and Saturnian satellites.

On the Effect of the: Saturnian Ring upon the Motion of the Satellites
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 1957Abstract By comparing the observational data. about the motions of the apses and of the nodes of the inner satellites with theoretical formulae obtained by the present author the mass of the Saturnian ring system is determined to be of the order of 10–4 times of the Saturnian mass.

Voyager disk resolved photometry of the Saturnian satellites
Icarus, 1984The scattering properties of the icy satellites of Saturn are studied. Scans of intensity along the photometric equator near opposition are analyzed, and disk-resolved measurements of intensity are fitted to simple photometric functions. Histograms of the albedo distribution across the satellite disks are constructed, and the geometric albedos are ...

The Determination of the Gravity Fields of the Saturnian Satellites With Cassini
2007During the first two years of its tour of the Saturn system, Cassini has been flying-by some of the most interesting icy satellites. Gravity field results obtained from the orbital fit of radiometric data acquired during these close encounters with Phoebe, Iapetus, Enceladus, Hyperion, Dione and Rhea are presented. These results were then used to infer
