Cassini observations of the Interplanetary Medium Upstream of Saturn and their relation to the Hubble Space Telescope aurora data
Dougherty, M. K.; Jackman, C. M.; Clarke, J. T. +3 more
We present Cassini magnetometer and plasma data for the January 2004 ‘solar wind campaign’ in which the particles and fields instruments monitored the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field, while the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) simultaneously observed the UV aurora in Saturn’s southern ionosphere. Clear structuring is evident in the data w…
Inferring the composition of the liquid surface on Titan at the Huygens probe landing site from Surface Science Package measurements
Lorenz, R. D.; Hagermann, A.; Leese, M. R. +5 more
With Huygens’ descent into Titan’s atmosphere drawing nearer, the composition and state of Titan’s surface remained largely unknown. The idea of a global ocean on Titan has become less popular over the last decade, though the possibility of lakes and seas has remained, and recently [Campbell, D.B., Black, G.J., Carter, L.M., Ostro, S.J.

The strands of the F ring disturbed by its closest satellites
Mourão, D. C.; Giuliatti Winter, S. M.; Freitas, T. C. A.
Some Voyager images showed that the F ring of Saturn is composed of at least four separate, non-intersecting, strands covering about 45° in longitude. According to Murray et al. [Murray, C.D., Gordon, M., Giuliatti Winter, S.M. Unraveling the strands of Saturn's F ring. Icarus 129, 304, 1997.] this structure may be caused by undetected satellites …
