Mimas, the smallest and innermost of Saturn's mid-sized moons, has a heavily cratered
surface devoid of the intricate fracture systems of its neighbor, Enceladus. However, Cassini …

Moons potentially harbouring a global ocean are tending to become relatively common
objects in the Solar System. The presence of these long-lived global oceans is generally …

In the outer solar system, a growing number of giant planet satellites are now known to be
abodes for global oceans hidden below an outer layer of ice. These planetary oceans are a …

Every study modeling tidal heating must adopt some rheology model. Rheology models
describe the relationship between the imposed stress, and the resulting deformation (strain) …

Bodily tides provide key information on the interior structure, evolution, and origin of the
planetary bodies. Our Solar system harbors a very diverse population of planetary bodies …

Several solar system moons harbor subsurface water oceans; extreme internal heating or
solar irradiation can form magma oceans in terrestrial bodies. Tidal forces drive ocean …

The inferred density of Enceladus' core, together with evidence of hydrothermal activity
within the moon, suggests that the core is porous. Tidal dissipation in an unconsolidated …

The open‐source PlanetProfile framework was developed to investigate the interior structure
of icy moons based on collectively matching their observed properties and comparative …

The fractured, young surfaces on confirmed ocean worlds such as Europa and Enceladus
suggest that ocean-bearing moons with relatively thin overlying ice shells should be easy to …

Saturn's mid-sized icy moons have complex relationships with Saturn's interior, the rings,
and with each other, which can be expressed in their shapes, interiors, and geology …
