Photometric analyses of Saturn's small moons: Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene are dark; Helene and Calypso are bright
M. M. Hedman, P. Helfenstein, R. O. Chancia +4
We examine the surface brightnesses of Saturn's smaller satellites using a photometric model that explicitly accounts for their elongated shapes and thus facilitates comparisons am…
True Polar Wander of Enceladus From Topographic Data
Radwan Tajeddine, Krista M. Soderlund, Peter C. Thomas +4
Many obsects in the solar system are suspected to have experience reorientation of their spin axes. As their rotation rates are slow and their shapes are nearly spherical, the form…
Enceladus's measured physical libration requires a global subsurface ocean
P. C. Thomas, R. Tajeddine, M. S. Tiscareno +5
Several planetary satellites apparently have subsurface seas that are of great interest for, among other reasons, their possible habitability. The geologically diverse Saturnian sa…
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…
Analysis of the First Disk-Resolved Images of Ceres from Ultraviolet Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope
Joel Wm. Parker, S. Alan Stern, Peter C. Thomas +5
We present HST Faint Object Camera observations of the asteroid 1 Ceres at near-, mid-, and far-UV wavelengths (lambda = 3636, 2795, and 1621 A, respectively) obtained on 1995 June…
