Unveiling What Makes Saturn Ring: Quantifying the Amplitudes of Saturn's Planetary Normal-Mode Oscillations and Trends in C-Ring Properties Using Kronoseismology (VII)

Victor M Afigbo, Matthew M Hedman, Phillip Nicholson +4

Certain spiral density waves in Saturn's rings are generated through resonances with planetary normal modes, making them valuable probes of Saturn's internal structure. Previous re…

Kronoseismology VI: Reading the recent history of Saturn's gravity field in its rings

M. M. Hedman, P. D. Nicholson, M. El Moutamid +1

Saturn's C ring contains multiple structures that appear to be density waves driven by time-variable anomalies in the planet's gravitational field. Semi-empirical extensions of den…

Saturn's icy satellites investigated by Cassini - VIMS. IV. Daytime temperature maps

Gianrico Filacchione, Emiliano D'Aversa, Fabrizio Capaccioni +13

The spectral position of the 3.6 micron continuum peak measured on Cassini-VIMS I/F spectra is used as a marker to infer the temperature of the regolith particles covering the surf…

Evidence of Titan's Climate History from Evaporite Distribution

Shannon M. MacKenzie, Jason W. Barnes, Christophe Sotin +8

Water-ice-poor, 5-m-bright material on Saturn's moon Titan has previously been geomorphologically identified as evaporitic. Here we present a global distribution of the occurren…

Saturn's icy satellites and rings investigated by Cassini - VIMS. III. Radial compositional variability

G. Filacchione, F. Capaccioni, M. Ciarniello +16

In the last few years Cassini-VIMS, the Visible and Infared Mapping Spectrometer, returned to us a comprehensive view of the Saturn's icy satellites and rings. After having analyze…

A Proposal for a Renewed Research Emphasis in Astrophysical and Celestial Dynamics

D. J. Scheeres, T. S. Statler, K. T. Alfriend +10

Given the impressive investment by the nation in observational Astronomy and Astrophysics facilities coming on line now and in the near future, we advocate for an increased investm…
