Origin and Evolution of Saturn's Ring System
Sebastien Charnoz, Luke Dones, Larry W. Esposito +2
The origin and long-term evolution of Saturn's rings is still an unsolved problem in modern planetary science. In this chapter we review the current state of our knowledge on this…
The Architecture of the Cassini Division
M. M. Hedman, P. D. Nicholson, K. H. Baines +6
The Cassini Division in Saturn's rings contains a series of eight named gaps, three of which contain dense ringlets. Observations of stellar occultations by the Visual and Infrared…
Aegaeon (Saturn LIII), a G-ring object
M. M. Hedman, N. J. Cooper, C. D. Murray +4
Aegaeon (Saturn LIII, S/2008 S1) is a small satellite of Saturn that orbits within a bright arc of material near the inner edge of Saturn's G ring. This object was observed in 21 i…
An analytic parameterization of self-gravity wakes in Saturn's rings, with application to occultations and propellers
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Randall P. Perrine, Derek C. Richardson +4
We have developed a semi-analytic method of parameterizing N-body simulations of self-gravity wakes in Saturn's rings, describing their properties by means of only 6 numbers: 3 opt…
ROMA (Rank-Ordered Multifractal Analysis) for intermittent fluctuations with global crossover behavior
Sunny W. Y. Tam, Tom Chang, Paul M. Kintner +1
Rank-Ordered Multifractal Analysis (ROMA), a recently developed technique that combines the ideas of parametric rank ordering and one parameter scaling of monofractals, has the cap…
Titan's Prolific Propane: The Cassini CIRS Perspective
C. A. Nixon, D. E. Jennings, J. -M. Flaud +7
In this paper we select large spectral averages of data from the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) obtained in limb-viewing mode at low latitudes (30S--30N), greatly i…
A Search for Additional Planets in the NASA EPOXI Observations of the Exoplanet System GJ 436
Sarah Ballard, Jessie L. Christiansen, David Charbonneau +14
We present time series photometry of the M dwarf transiting exoplanet system GJ 436 obtained with the the EPOCh (Extrasolar Planet Observation and Characterization) component of th…
Two Exoplanets Discovered at Keck Observatory
J. A. Valenti, D. A. Fischer, G. W. Marcy +6
We present two exoplanets detected at Keck Observatory. HD 179079 is a G5 subgiant that hosts a hot Neptune planet with Msini = 27.5 M_earth in a 14.48 d, low-eccentricity orbit. T…
Five planets and an independent confirmation of HD 196885Ab from Lick Observatory
D. A. Fischer, P. Driscoll, H. Isaacson +9
We present time series Doppler data from Lick Observatory that reveal the presence of long-period planetary companions orbiting nearby stars. The typical eccentricity of these mass…
Global circulation as the main source of cloud activity on Titan
Sébastien Rodriguez, Stéphane Le Mouélic, Pascal Rannou +11
Clouds on Titan result from the condensation of methane and ethane and, as on other planets, are primarily structured by circulation of the atmosphere. At present, cloud activity m…
Cassini/VIMS hyperspectral observations of the HUYGENS landing site on Titan
S. Rodriguez, S. Le Mouélic, C. Sotin +7
Titan is one of the primary scientific objectives of the NASA ESA ASI Cassini Huygens mission. Scattering by haze particles in Titan's atmosphere and numerous methane absorptions d…
The Rotation of Janus and Epimetheus
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Peter C. Thomas, Joseph A. Burns
Epimetheus, a small moon of Saturn, has a rotational libration (an oscillation about synchronous rotation) of 5.9 +- 1.2 degrees, placing Epimetheus in the company of Earth's Moon…
The NASA-UC Eta-Earth Program: I. A Super-Earth Orbiting HD 7924
Andrew W. Howard, John A. Johnson, Geoffrey W. Marcy +8
We report the discovery of the first low-mass planet to emerge from the NASA-UC Eta-Earth Program, a super-Earth orbiting the K0 dwarf HD 7924. Keplerian modeling of precise Dopple…
