Resonance locking in giant planets indicated by the rapid orbital expansion of Titan
Valéry Lainey, Luis Gomez Casajus, Jim Fuller +8
Tidal effects in planetary systems are the main driver in the orbital migration of natural satellites. They result from physical processes occurring deep inside celestial bodies, w…
The dynamics of the outer edge of Saturn's A ring perturbed by the satellites Janus and Epimetheus
N. C. S. Araujo, S. Renner, N. J. Cooper +4
We present an analytical model to study the dynamics of the outer edge of Saturn's A ring. The latter is influenced by 7:6 mean motion resonances with Janus and Epimetheus. Because…
Interior properties of the inner Saturnian moons from space astrometry data
Valéry Lainey, Benoît Noyelles, Nicholas Cooper +3
During the thirteen years in orbit around Saturn before its final plunge, the Cassini spacecraft provided more than ten thousand astrometric measurements. Such large amounts of acc…
Origin of the chaotic motion of the Saturnian satellite Atlas
S. Renner, N. J. Cooper, M. El Moutamid +4
We revisit the dynamics of Atlas. Using Cassini ISS astrometric observations spanning February 2004 to August 2013, Cooper et al. (2015) found evidence that Atlas is currently pert…
New constraints on Saturn's interior from Cassini astrometric data
Valéry Lainey, Robert A. Jacobson, Radwan Tajeddine +15
Using astrometric observations spanning more than a century and including a large set of Cassini data, we determine Saturn's tidal parameters through their current effects on the o…
Cassini ISS Mutual Event Astrometry of the Mid-sized Saturnian Satellites 2005-2012
N. J. Cooper, C. D. Murray, V. Lainey +3
We present astrometric observations of the Saturnian satellites Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione and Rhea from Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) narrow-angle camera (NAC) imag…
