Fluvial features on Titan: Insights from morphology and modeling

Fluvial features on Titan have been identified in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data taken during spacecraft fl ybys by the Cassini Titan Radar Mapper (RADAR) and in Descent Imager/Spectral Radiometer (DISR) images taken during descent of the Huygens probe to the surface. Interpretations using terrestrial analogs and process mechanics extend our perspective on fl uvial geomorphology to another...

Radar-Sounding of Icy Mantles and Comets Using Natural Radio Noise

Radar-sounding of ice sheets on Earth yields crucial information on ice history and dynamics, including discoveries of subglacial lakes beneath 3-4 km of ice [1]. Mars Express and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) have now demonstrated the corresponding power of orbital radar sounding for planetary exploration, in particular by imaging structures within and beneath kilometers of Martian wat...

Insights into Titan’s geology and hydrology based on enhanced image processing of Cassini RADAR data

The Cassini Synthetic Aperture Radar has been acquiring images of Titan’s surface since October 2004. To date, 59% of Titan’s surface has been imaged by radar, with significant regions imaged more than once. Radar data suffer from speckle noise hindering interpretation of small-scale features and comparison of reimaged regions for change detection. We present here a new image analysis technique...

Pluto ’ s Spectrum from 1 . 0 to 4 . 2 μ m : Implications for Surface Properties

We present spectra of Pluto’s anti-Charon hemisphere obtained from the Keck and Subaru telescopes from 2.8 to 4.2 μm. Combined with 1 2.5 μm spectra from the IRTF telescope, this collective data set lets us constrain several surface frost properties. The surface area of pure nitrogen frost (as opposed to nitrogen with dissolved methane) is constrained to be 6% or less. The ratio of pure to dilu...

Late Origin of the Saturn System

Saturn is orbited by a half dozen ice rich middle-sized moons (MSMs) of diverse geology and composition (e.g. Smith et al. , 1981; Thomas, 2010; Schenk et al. , 2011) that comprise ∼4.4% of Saturn’s satellite mass. The rest is Titan, more massive per planet than Jupiter’s satellites combined. Jupiter has no MSMs. Disk-based models to explain these differences exist (e.g. Sasaki et al. , 2010; C...
