The lakes and seas of Titan

AG Hayes - Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2016 - annualreviews.org
Analogous to Earth's water cycle, Titan's methane-based hydrologic cycle supports standing
bodies of liquid and drives processes that result in common morphologic features including …

Enceladus's measured physical libration requires a global subsurface ocean

PC Thomas, R Tajeddine, MS Tiscareno, JA Burns… - Icarus, 2016 - Elsevier
Several planetary satellites apparently have subsurface seas that are of great interest for,
among other reasons, their possible habitability. The geologically diverse saturnian satellite …

Cassini observes the active south pole of Enceladus

CC Porco, P Helfenstein, PC Thomas, AP Ingersoll… - science, 2006 - science.org
Cassini has identified a geologically active province at the south pole of Saturn's moon
Enceladus. In images acquired by the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), this region is …

A planetesimal orbiting within the debris disc around a white dwarf star

CJ Manser, BT Gänsicke, S Eggl, M Hollands… - Science, 2019 - science.org
Many white dwarf stars show signs of having accreted smaller bodies, implying that they
may host planetary systems. A small number of these systems contain gaseous debris discs …

How the geysers, tidal stresses, and thermal emission across the south polar terrain of Enceladus are related

C Porco, D DiNino, F Nimmo - The Astronomical Journal, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We present the first comprehensive examination of the geysering, tidal stresses, and
anomalous thermal emission across the south pole of Enceladus and discuss the …

Imaging of Titan from the Cassini spacecraft

CC Porco, E Baker, J Barbara, K Beurle, A Brahic… - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is the only satellite in the Solar System with a substantial
atmosphere. The atmosphere is poorly understood and obscures the surface, leading to …

The gravity field of the Saturnian system from satellite observations and spacecraft tracking data

RA Jacobson, PG Antreasian, JJ Bordi… - The Astronomical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We present values for the masses of Saturn and its major satellites, the zonal harmonics in
the spherical harmonic expansion of Saturn's gravitational potential, and the orientation of …

Encoding electronic properties by synthesis of axial modulation-doped silicon nanowires

C Yang, Z Zhong, CM Lieber - Science, 2005 - science.org
We describe the successful synthesis of modulation-doped silicon nanowires by achieving
pure axial elongation without radial overcoating during the growth process. Scanning gate …

The orbits of the main Saturnian satellites, the Saturnian system gravity field, and the orientation of Saturn's pole

RA Jacobson - The Astronomical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …
