Cladistical analysis of the Jovian and Saturnian Satellite Systems [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 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

Astrometric observations of inner Saturnian satellites [PDF]
Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2001 This paper presents observations of four inner Saturnian satellites (SX = Janus, SXI = Epimetheus, SXVI = Prometheus and SXVII = Pandora) made in August and November 1995 during the Earth and Sun crossings of Saturn's ring plane, respectively.

Positional measuring procedure and CCD observations for Saturnian satellites [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2002 A positional measuring procedure for the eight major satellites of Saturn (Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, Hyperion and Iapetus) is developed. Using this procedure, 199 frames of CCD images, obtained with the 1-meter telescope at the Yunnan

Ice-Ocean Exchange Processes in the Jovian and Saturnian Satellites
Space Science Reviews, 2020 A growing number of satellites in the outer solar system likely have global oceans beneath their outer icy shells. While the presence of liquid water makes these ocean worlds compelling astrobiological targets, the exchange of heat and materials between ...

The Saturnian satellite Rhea as seen by Cassini VIMS [PDF]
Planetary and Space Science, 2010 The icy Saturnian satellite Rhea is often regarded as twin to its neighboring satellite Dione especially with respect toits geological history and its spectral surface properties. Cassini VIMS detected the satellites surfaces in the wavelength range from

Comparison of the Jovian and Saturnian satellites
, 2009 The understanding of outer planet satellites has improved considerably, when the Voyager spacecraft flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, followed by the advent of the Galileo spacecraft in the Jovian system (1995-2003) and the Cassini ...

Cartography of the Icy Saturnian Satellites
, 2004 We have re-measured control points and re-computed a control point network for Saturn's satellite Dione. Our network is based on 16 images (obtained by the narrow-angle cameras of Voyager I and II), 135 control points, and 741 point measurements.
