TL;DR: The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) is the highest-resolution two-dimensional imaging device on the Cassini Orbiter and has been designed for investigations of the bodies and phenomena found within the Saturnian planetary system.

Cratering rates in the outer solar system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cratering rates on the Galilean satellites.
TL;DR: It is found that most, probably more than 90%, of the craters on the Galilean satellites are caused by the impact of Jupiter-family comets (JFCs), these are comets with short periods, in generally low-inclination orbits, whose dynamics are dominated by Jupiter.
Oort Cloud Formation and Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, the orbital distribution of known comets and the cometary fading problem are discussed, as well as the population and mass of the Oort cloud, including the hypothetical inner Oort clouds.
Dynamical evolution of ecliptic comets
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for the distribution of comets throughout the JFC and Centaur regions that is consistent with current observations, although further observations and numerical simulations in the Centaur region are called for.
