Tidal heating in Enceladus
The heating in Enceladus in an equilibrium resonant configuration with other saturnian satellites can be estimated independently of the physical properties of Enceladus. We find that equilibrium tidal heating cannot account for the heat that is observed to be coming from Enceladus. Equilibrium heating in possible past resonances likewise cannot explain prior resurfacing events. © 2007 Elsevier ...
متن کاملMars Thermal Evolution: Aided by Tidal Dissipation?
Introduction: Early models of accretion of Mars [1] suggested long time scales and led to assumed cold post-accretion initial temperatures [2]. But later accretion models [3] gave much shorter time scales and led to the general acceptance of a hot Mars heated by the kinetic energy of impacting planetesimals. Evidence from isotopic studies also seems to require early melting; in particular, Hf-W...
متن کاملDoes Enceladus govern magnetospheric dynamics at Saturn?
Instruments on the Cassini spacecraft reveal that a heat source within Saturn's moon Enceladus powers a great plume of water ice particles and dust grains, a geyser that jets outward from the south polar regions and most likely serves as the dominant source of Saturn's E ring. The interaction of flowing magnetospheric plasma with the plume modifies the particle and field environment of Enceladu...
متن کاملCan There Be Dissipation without Heat? Constraints on Tidal Dissipation in the Medium-sized Saturnian Satellites
Introduction: Much can be learned about tidal dissipation in icy bodies by studying the medium-sized Saturnian satellites. They have densities that range between 960 kg/m3 (Tethys) and ~1460 kg/m3 (Dione) [1]. They accreted very cold (e.g., [2]). Thermal models governed by the decay of long-lived radionuclides yield freezing of the smallest satellites, in a few hundred million years. A Maxwell-...
متن کاملnorms and constraints in translating childrens novels from english into persian
abstract foreign and iranian cultures are far distinct in the constraints imposed on writing and translating for children, since the iranian literary system is mainly concerned with cultural and religious instructions which lead to manipulation of translated texts. this study sought to identify the cultural and social constraints and norms which determined the strategies applied in the transl...
