Journal ArticleDOI
Ion energy distributions and densities in the plume of Enceladus
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the energy distributions, ion species and densities of water group ions in the plume of Enceladus using test particle and Monte Carlo methods that include collisional processes such as charge exchange and ion-neutral chemical reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling insights into the locations of density enhancements from the Enceladus water vapor jets
TL;DR: Monte Carlo modeling of the vapor erupting from Enceladus' south polar region is presented to demonstrate the influence of physical characteristics of the emitted vapor on the distribution of particles at altitude as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the MAss Spectrometer for Planetary EXploration (MASPEX) was used to analyze the compounds making up Europa's exosphere, and plumes, if present, and it was shown that the accumulation of atomic oxygen during a flyby would lead to a reduction of the apparent abundance of water by as much as 0.125% (Δ[H2O]/[H 2O] −1.25 −3).
