Probing the subsurface of the two faces of Iapetus
Léa E. Bonnefoy, Jean-François Lestrade, Emmanuel Lellouch +4
Saturn's moon Iapetus, which is in synchronous rotation, is covered by an optically dark material mainly on its leading side, while its trailing side is significantly brighter. Bec…
The changing rotational light-curve amplitude of Varuna and evidence for a close-in satellite
Estela Fernández-Valenzuela, Jose Luis Ortiz, Nicolás Morales +6
From CCD observations carried out with different telescopes, we present short-term photometric measurements of the large trans-Neptunian object Varuna in 10 epochs, spanning around…
Sodium and Potassium Signatures of Volcanic Satellites Orbiting Close-in Gas Giant Exoplanets
Apurva V. Oza, Robert E. Johnson, Emmanuel Lellouch +12
Extrasolar satellites are generally too small to be detected by nominal searches. By analogy to the most active body in the Solar System, Io, we describe how sodium (Na I) and pota…
Herschel map of Saturn's stratospheric water, delivered by the plumes of Enceladus
T. Cavalié, V. Hue, P. Hartogh +13
Context. The origin of water in the stratospheres of Giant Planets has been an outstanding question ever since its first detection by ISO some 20 years ago. Water can originate fro…
Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) Observations of Titan 2004--2017
Conor A. Nixon, Todd M. Ansty, Nicholas A. Lombardo +16
From 2004 to 2017, the Cassini spacecraft orbited Saturn, completing 127 close flybys of its largest moon, Titan. Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), one of 12 instru…
Trans-Neptunian objects and Centaurs at thermal wavelengths
Thomas Müller, Emmanuel Lellouch, Sonia Fornasier
The thermal emission of transneptunian objects (TNO) and Centaurs has been observed at mid- and far-infrared wavelengths - with the biggest contributions coming from the Spitzer an…
