ORIGIN OF THE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURES OF THE JOVIAN AND SATURNIAN SATELLITE SYSTEMS [PDF]

open access: bronze, 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.

The Orbits of the Main Saturnian Satellites, the Saturnian System Gravity Field, and the Orientation of Saturn’s Pole

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2022
Four spacecraft have been sent to investigate the Saturnian system: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Cassini. By analyzing data acquired with these spacecraft together with Earth-based and Hubble Space Telescope satellite astrometry and Saturnian ...

A Past Episode of Rapid Tidal Evolution of Enceladus?

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Saturn possesses a dynamically rich system containing numerous moons and impressive rings. Whether the rings of Saturn are much younger than the planet itself has been a long-standing open question; more recently a young age has been proposed for some ...

Polarimetry of Saturnian satellite Enceladus [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy and Space Physics, 2015
We present results of polarimetric observations of Saturn's moon Enceladus carried out from April 14, 2010 to April 13, 2013 in WR spectral band (550-750 nm). We used 2.6-m telescope equipped with a one-channel photoelectric photometer-polarimeter (Crimean Astrophysical Observatory). The measurements were performed at phase angles ranging from 1.65° to

A Recent Impact Origin of Saturn’s Rings and Mid-sized Moons

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We simulate the collision of precursor icy moons analogous to Dione and Rhea as a possible origin for Saturn’s remarkably young rings. Such an event could have been triggered a few hundred million years ago by resonant instabilities in a previous ...
