Water masers in the Saturnian system
, 2009 Context. The presence of water has long been seen as a key condition for life in planetary environments. The Cassini spacecraft discovered water vapour in the Saturnian system by detecting absorption of UV emission from a background star.

Voyager 1 and 2 Atlas of Six Saturnian Satellites [PDF]
, 1984 Maps, compiled with data gathered primarily by Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft, are presented which show the diversity among six of the Saturnian moons. Mimas and Enceladus are mapped in detail. Prelimary maps are given for the other four satellites. Diameter,

Feeling the Pressure: Effects of Formation Pressure on the Physical Properties of Titan Haze Analogs
The Planetary Science JournalThe Cassini–Huygens mission detected large negative ions in Titan’s ionosphere at pressures as low as 10 ^−6 Torr. These ions ultimately polymerize to form Titan’s complex organic haze particles, which are observed throughout the atmosphere and ...

Investigating Tidal Stripping of a Preexisting Moon as the Origin of Saturn’s Young Icy Rings
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe origin of Saturn’s rings has been debated for decades. Measurements from Voyager and Cassini have suggested that the rings could be as young as ∼100 Myr and composed of nearly pure ice. Several scenarios have been proposed to explain these properties.

Observations of Titan’s Stratosphere during Northern Summer: Temperatures, CH3CN and CH3D Abundances
The Planetary Science JournalTitan’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.

Exploring the Interior Structure and Mode of Tidal Heating in Enceladus
The Planetary Science JournalEnceladus is among the most intriguing bodies in the solar system due to its astrobiological potential. Determining the extent and duration of habitability (i.e., sustained habitability ) requires characterizing the interior properties and the level and ...
