Voyager 1 and 2 Atlas of Six Saturnian Satellites
, 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,

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 ...

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.

Resonant Stratification in Titan’s Global Ocean
The Planetary Science JournalTitan’s ice shell floats on top of a global ocean, as revealed by the large tidal Love number k _2 = 0.616 ± 0.067 registered by Cassini. The Cassini observation exceeds the predicted k _2 by one order of magnitude in the absence of an ocean, and is 3 σ ...

The production of craters on the mid-sized Saturnian satellites by Centaur objects [PDF]
, 2019 Context. The Saturnian satellite system has been observed in detail by the Cassini-Huygens mission. These satellites present different surface features, including impact craters caused by small objects probably coming from the trans-Neptunian region ...
