Terrestrial Planets Comparative Climatology (TPCC) mission concept
Leslie K. Tamppari, Amanda Brecht, Kevin Baines +10
The authors and co-signers of the Terrestrial Planets Comparative Climatology (TPCC) mission concept white paper advocate that planetary science in the next decade would greatly be…
Modeling the complete set of Cassini's UVIS occultation observations of Enceladus' plume
Ganna Portyankina, Larry W. Esposito, Klaus-Michael Aye +2
The Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) observed a plume of water vapor spewing out from the south polar regions of Enceladus in occultation geometry 7 times during the…
A Traveling Feature in Saturn's Rings
Morgan E. Rehnberg, Larry W. Esposito, Zarah L. Brown +3
The co-orbital satellites of Saturn, Janus and Epimetheus, swap radial positions every 4.0 years. Since \textit{Cassini} has been in orbit about Saturn, this has occurred on 21 Jan…
Mathematical analysis of a model for moon-triggered clumping in Saturn's rings
Pedro J. Torres, Prasanna Madhusudhanan, Larry W. Esposito
Spacecraft observations of Saturn's rings show evidence of an active aggregation-disaggregation process triggered by periodic influences from the nearby moons. This leads to clumpi…
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…
Infrared Observations During the Secondary Eclipse of HD 209458b: I. 3.6-Micron Occultation Spectroscopy Using the VLT
L. Jeremy Richardson, Drake Deming, Guenter Wiedemann +4
We search for an infrared signature of the transiting extrasolar planet HD 209458b during secondary eclipse. Our method, which we call `occultation spectroscopy,' searches for the…
