Cladistical Analysis of the Jovian and Saturnian Satellite Systems [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract Jupiter and Saturn each have complex systems of satellites and rings. These satellites can be classified into dynamical groups, implying similar formation scenarios. Recently, a larger number of additional irregular satellites have been discovered around both gas giants that have yet to be classified. The aim of this paper is to

Ephemerides of the Irregular Saturnian Satellites from Earth-based Astrometry and Cassini Imaging*
Astronomical Journal, 2022 We report a new determination of the orbits of the irregular Saturnian satellites. We fit their numerically integrated orbits to a data set containing Earth-based observations and imaging data from the Cassini spacecraft. We include the statistics of the

ORIGIN OF THE CHAOTIC MOTION OF THE SATURNIAN SATELLITE ATLAS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT We revisit the dynamics of Atlas. Using Cassini ISS astrometric observations spanning 2004 February to 2013 August, Cooper et al. found evidence that Atlas is currently perturbed by both a 54:53 corotation eccentricity resonance (CER) and a 54:53 Lindblad eccentricity resonance (LER) with Prometheus.

CCD astrometric observations of Saturnian satellites [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2003 Astrometric positions of the first eight largest Saturnian satellites and the Lagrangian satellites Helene, Telesto and Calypso are presented from 493 CCD frames taken at the oppositions in 1995 through 1999. The images were obtained over 27 nights. Observed positions are compared with the calculated ones from Vienne and Duriez TASS 1.7 for the large ...

Particle deposition on the saturnian satellites from ephemeral cryovolcanism on Enceladus [PDF]
, 2014 The geologically active south pole of Enceladus generates a plume of micron‐sized particles, which likely form Saturn's tenuous E‐ring extending from the orbit of Mimas to Titan.

Giant impacts in the Saturnian system: A possible origin of diversity in the inner mid-sized satellites [PDF]
, 2011 It is widely accepted that Titan and the mid-sized regular satellites around Saturn were formed in the circum-Saturn disk. Thus, if these mid-sized satellites were simply accreted by collisions of similar ice-rock satellitesimals in the disk, the ...
