Enceladus’ water vapor plume

The Cassini spacecraft flew close to Saturn’s small moon Enceladus three times in 2005. Cassini’s UltraViolet Imaging Spectrograph observed stellar occultations on two flybys and confirmed the existence, composition, and regionally confined nature of a water vapor plume in the south polar region of Enceladus. This plume provides an adequate amount of water to resupply losses from Saturn’s E ring and to be the dominant source of the neutral OH and atomic oxygen that fill the Saturnian system.

Enceladus' Water Vapour Plumes

A viewgraph presentation on the discovery of Enceladus water vapor plumes is shown. Conservative modeling of this water vapor is also presented and also shows that Enceladus is the source of most of the water required to supply the neutrals in Saturn's system and resupply the E-ring against losses.

Ultraviolet Surface Properties of the Icy Galilean Satellites from Phase Curve Analysis

The rotational phase curve analyses presented here examine the ultraviolet rotational behavior of the icy Galilean satellites and systematically searches for any broadband temporal variability in the ultraviolet properties of these satellites. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.

Hydrogen Peroxide on the Surface of Europa

Spatially resolved infrared and ultraviolet wavelength spectra of Europa's leading, anti-jovian, quadrant observed from the Galileo spacecraft show absorption features due to hydrogen peroxide.

Galileo Ultraviolet Spectrometer Observations of Jupiter's Auroral Spectrum from 1600-3200 A

In 1996 and 1997 the Galileo Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) obtained the first measurements of Jupiter's nightside midultraviolet (MUV) polar auroral spectrum from 1620 to 3231 A at 13 A resolution.
