TL;DR: The Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer onboard the Cassini spacecraft is used to detect molecular hydrogen in the plume of escaping material on Enceladus, finding that the most plausible source of this hydrogen is ongoing hydrothermal reactions of rock containing reduced minerals and organic materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macromolecular organic compounds from the depths of Enceladus

TL;DR: The detection of complex organic molecules with masses higher than 200 atomic mass units in ice grains emitted from Enceladus indicates the presence of a thin organic-rich layer on top of the moon’s subsurface ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pH of Enceladus’ ocean
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a thermodynamic model of carbonate speciation to determine the pH of the ocean of Enceladus using data from the Cassini spacecraft.
BookDOI
Titan from Cassini-Huygens
TL;DR: Titan in the Cassini-Huygens Extended Mission: The Origin and Evolution of Titan, and Mapping Products of Titan's Surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A self‐consistent model of the Jovian auroral thermal structure
TL;DR: In this article, a one-dimensional model coupling a two-stream electron transport model of energy deposition with a 1-D thermal conduction model has been developed to investigate the links between auroral heat input and the vertical temperature of Jupiter's upper atmosphere.
