In the past few years, several major space missions have been completed (eg, Deep Impact,
LCROSS, Chandrayaan-1, Stardust, Hayabusa), and a number of spacecraft are currently …

Enceladus, one of the mid-sized icy moons of Saturn, has an importance to planetary
science far greater than its modest 504-km diameter would suggest. Intensive exploration of …

The exploration of the Pluto-Charon system by the New Horizons spacecraft represents the
first opportunity to understand the distribution of albedo and other photometric properties of …

The Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn provided a close-up study of the gas giant planet, as
well as its rings, moons, and magnetosphere. The Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in …

We present a thermal observation of Callisto's leading hemisphere obtained using the
Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at 0.87 mm (343 GHz). The angular resolution …

Abstract The Europa Thermal Emission Imaging System (E-THEMIS) on the Europa Clipper
spacecraft will investigate the temperature and physical properties of Europa using thermal …

Newly processed global imaging and topographic map** of Uranus's five major satellites
reveal differences and similarities to mid-sized satellites at Saturn and Pluto. Three modes of …

In the last few years Cassini–VIMS, the Visible and Infrared Map** Spectrometer, returned
to us a comprehensive view of the Saturn's icy satellites and rings. After having analyzed the …

Since the discovery of an ice particle plume erupting from the south polar terrain on Saturn's
moon Enceladus, the geophysical mechanisms driving its activity have been the focus of …

Saturn is orbited by a half dozen ice rich middle-sized moons (MSMs) of diverse geology
and composition. These comprise∼ 4.4% of Saturn's satellite mass; the rest is Titan, more …
