Ice structures, patterns, and processes: A view across the icefields
From the frontiers of research on ice dynamics in its broadest sense, this review surveys the
structures of ice, the patterns or morphologies it may assume, and the physical and chemical …

A ring system detected around the Centaur (10199) Chariklo
Hitherto, rings have been found exclusively around the four giant planets in the Solar
System. Rings are natural laboratories in which to study dynamical processes analogous to …

The origin and composition of saturn's ring moons
Here we review the origin, evolution, and compositional properties of Saturn's ring moons.
This class of eleven small satellites includes objects orbiting near the outer edge of the main …

Size distribution of particles in Saturn's rings from aggregation and fragmentation
Saturn's rings consist of a huge number of water ice particles, with a tiny addition of rocky
material. They form a flat disk, as the result of an interplay of angular momentum …

The surface composition of Iapetus: Map** results from Cassini VIMS
RN Clark, DP Cruikshank, R Jaumann, RH Brown… - Icarus, 2012 - Elsevier
Cassini VIMS has obtained spatially resolved imaging spectroscopy data on numerous
satellites of Saturn. A very close fly-by of Iapetus on September 10, 2007 provided the best …

Accretion of Saturn's mid-sized moons during the viscous spreading of young massive rings: Solving the paradox of silicate-poor rings versus silicate-rich moons
The origin of Saturn's inner mid-sized moons (Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione and Rhea)
and Saturn's rings is debated. Charnoz et al.[Charnoz, S., Salmon J., Crida A., 2010. Nature …

Origin of the different architectures of the Jovian and Saturnian satellite systems
The Jovian regular satellite system mainly consists of four Galilean satellites that have
similar masses and are trapped in mutual mean-motion resonances except for the outer …

The structure of Saturn's rings
Our understanding of the structure of Saturn's rings has evolved steadily since their
discovery by Galileo Galilei in 1610. With each advance in observations of the rings over the …

Icy exomoons evidenced by spallogenic nuclides in polluted white dwarfs
We present evidence that excesses in Be in polluted white dwarfs (WDs) are the result of
accretion of icy exomoons that formed in the radiation belts of giant exoplanets. Here we use …

Saturn's tropospheric composition and clouds from Cassini/VIMS 4.6–5.1 μm nightside spectroscopy
The latitudinal variation of Saturn's tropospheric composition (NH3, PH3 and AsH3) and
aerosol properties (cloud altitudes and opacities) are derived from Cassini/VIMS 4.6–5.1 μm …
