Tycho Brahe’s Calculi ad Corrigenda Elementa Orbitae Saturni and the technical aspects of his planetary model of Saturn
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Archive for History of Exact Sciences"
DOI: 10.1007/s00407-020-00253-0
Abstract: Tycho Brahe was not just an observer; he was a skilled theoretical astronomer, as his lunar and solar models show. Still, even if he is recognized for proposing the Geoheliocentric system, little do we know… read more here.

New constraints on Saturn’s interior from Cassini astrometric data
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Icarus"
DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2016.07.014
Abstract: 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 orbits of the eight main and four coorbital… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2019.04.031
Abstract: Abstract Saturn's moon Enceladus is known to have a water vapor plume erupting from fissures across its south polar region. The plume was detectable in an observation of Enceladus transiting Saturn by Cassini's Ultraviolet Imaging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2021.114650
Abstract: Abstract Saturn's recurring great white storms play an important role in modifying its atmosphere. In 2010, such a storm with clouds encircling the planet occurred in the northern hemisphere. An interesting phenomenon of this storm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2017ja025085
Abstract: The Cassini spacecraft orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017, and in 2006 it started exploring the deep magnetotail, reaching distances of about 68 RS (where RS is the equatorial radius of Saturn). Since Cassini covered… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018ja025764
Abstract: Periodic variations have been observed in many field and particle properties in Saturn's magnetosphere, modulated at a period close to the planetary rotation rate. Magnetic field observations by Cassini's magnetometer instrument suggest that in the… read more here.

Loss of a satellite could explain Saturn’s obliquity and young rings
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Science"
DOI: 10.1126/science.abn1234
Abstract: The origin of Saturn’s ~26.7° obliquity and ~100-million-year-old rings is unknown. The observed rapid outward migration of Saturn’s largest satellite, Titan, could have raised Saturn’s obliquity through a spin-orbit precession resonance with Neptune. We use… read more here.
