Abstract: Abstract We used 0.85–5.1 μm 2006 observations by Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) to constrain the unusual vertical structure and compositions of cloud layers in Saturn's south polar region, the site of a powerful… read more here.

Abstract: Summary Previous studies of Jupiter's wind patterns revealed the southernmost two prograde jets at 58°S and 64°S (planetocentric), which we designate as the S5 and S6 jets, respectively, but the jets and the wind patterns… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl093631
Abstract: We expand on previous studies of the South Polar Layered Deposits' (SPLD) basal interface using data acquired by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding (MARSIS) to obtain detailed maps of elevation, topography,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41550-017-0063
Abstract: Saturn’s moon Enceladus is an active world. In 2005, the Cassini spacecraft witnessed for the first time water-rich jets venting from four anomalously warm fractures (called sulci) near its south pole (1,2). Since then, several… read more here.
