TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the orbital distribution of the trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) discovered during the Canada-France Ecliptic Plane Survey (CFEPS), whose discovery phase ran from early 2003 until early 2007.

TL;DR: Infrared spectroscopic data obtained by the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) on board the Cassini spacecraft strongly indicate that ethane, probably in liquid solution with methane, nitrogen and other low-molecular-mass hydrocarbons, is contained within Titan’s Ontario Lacus.

TL;DR: Observations of Saturn's satellite Enceladus using Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer instrument were obtained during three flybys in 2005, and upper limits of 140 kelvin are derived for the temperatures in the tiger stripes.

TL;DR: Near-infrared images of Titan obtained on 26 October 2004 by the Cassini spacecraft show that a widespread methane ocean does not exist; subtle albedo variations instead suggest topographical variations, as would be expected for a more solid (perhaps icy) surface.

TL;DR: Spectra from Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer reveal the presence of a vast tropospheric cloud on Titan and derived characteristics indicate that this cloud is composed of ethane and forms as a result of stratospheric subsidence and the particularly cool conditions near the moon's north pole.
