Abstract: In 2011 a thermally anomalous region was discovered on Mimas, Saturn’s innermost major icy satellite (Howett et al., 2011). The anomalous region is a lens-like shape located at low latitudes on Mimas’ leading hemisphere. It… read more here.

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.
