Liquid water on Enceladus from observations of ammonia and 40Ar in the plume

TL;DR: McKinnon et al. as mentioned in this paper reported that ammonia is present in the plume, along with various organic compounds, deuterium and, very probably, Ar-40, which provides strong evidence for the existence of at least some liquid water, given that temperatures in excess of 180 K have been measured near the fractures from which the jets emanate.
Journal ArticleDOI

The composition and structure of the Enceladus plume

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed an occultation of the Sun by the water vapor plume at the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus and inferred the inferred rate of water vapor injection into Saturn's magnetosphere is ∼200 kg/s.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cassini finds an oxygen-carbon dioxide atmosphere at Saturn's icy moon Rhea

TL;DR: The flyby measurements of the Cassini spacecraft at Saturn’s moon Rhea reveal a tenuous oxygen (O2)–carbon dioxide (CO2) atmosphere that appears to be sustained by chemical decomposition of the surface water ice under irradiation from Saturn's magnetospheric plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetospheric ion sputtering and water ice grain size at Europa

TL;DR: Pappalardo et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the first calculation of Europa's sputtering (ion erosion) rate as a function of position on Europa's surface and found a global sputtering rate of 2×10 27 ǫH 2 O s −1, some of which leaves the surface in the form of O 2 and H 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of porosity in vapor-deposited amorphous solid water from methane adsorption.

TL;DR: In this paper, the porosity of vapor-deposited amorphous solid water (ice) films was characterized using several complementary techniques such as quartz crystal microgravimetry, UV-visible interferometry, and infrared reflectance spectrometry in tandem with methane adsorption.
