متن کاملImpactor Populations in the Saturnian System: Constraints from the Cratering
Introduction: When using a planetary surface’s impact cratering record to investigate the object’s geologic history, it is important to understand the sources of impactors generating the unmodified record. For Saturn’s satellites, this implies that impactor populations pertinent to the Saturn system should be characterized in order to acceptably interpret cratering records modified by geologic ...
متن کاملDoes Cassini allow to measure relativistic orbital effects in the Saturnian system of natural satellites?
In this paper we address the following question: do the recent advances in the orbit determination of the major natural satellites of Saturn obtained with the analysis of the first data sets from the Cassini mission allow to detect the general relativistic gravitoelectric orbital precessions of such moons? The answer is still negative. The present-day down-track accuracy would be adequate for M...

متن کاملSaturn ’ S Diffuse E Ring and Its Connection with Enceladus
Introduction: Saturn’s E ring is the second largest planetary ring in the solar system, encompassing the icy satellites of Mimas (rM = 3.07RS), Enceladus (rE = 3.95RS), Tethys (rT = 4.88RS), Dione (rD = 6.25RS), Rhea (rR = 8.73R), and Titan (rR = 20.25RS). Enceladus was proposed early on as the dominant source of ring particles [1], since the edge-on brightness profile peaks near the moon’s mea...
