Dinámica de satélites irregulares de Saturno
(2011)
Actualmente, los satélites naturales de los planetas gigantes se clasifican en dos grandes grupos. A diferencia de los satélites regulares, los satélites irregulares de los planetas gigantes son exteriores, y se caracterizan ...
Long-term evolution and stability of Saturnian small satellites: Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe and Pallene
(2017-09-21)
Aegaeon, Methone, Anthe and Pallene are four Saturnian small moons, discovered by the Cassini spacecraft. Although their orbital characterization has been carried on by a number of authors, their long-term evolution has ...
The current orbit of Methone (S/2004 S 1)
(2021-12-01)
The Cassini spacecraft discovered many close-in small satellites in Saturnian system, and several of them exhibit exotic orbital states due to interactions with Mimas and the oblateness of the planet. This work is devoted ...
Numerical exploration of resonant dynamics in the system of Saturnian major satellites
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2010-12-01)
We numerically investigate the long-term dynamics of the Saturnian system by analyzing the Fourier spectra of ensembles of orbits taken around the current orbits of Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Rhea and Hyperion. We construct ...

Cratering and age of the small Saturnian satellites
(EDP Sciences, 2019-04-25)
Context. The small (=135 km mean radius) satellites of Saturn are closely related to its rings and together they constitute a complex dynamical system where formation and destruction mechanisms compete against each other. ...
The production of craters on the mid-sized saturnian satelites by Centaur objects
(Edp Sciences, 2013-05)
Context. The Saturnian satellite system has been observed in detail by the Cassini-Huygens mission. These satellites present different surface features, including impact craters caused by small objects probably coming from ...
Surface ages of mid-size Saturnian satellites
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2016-01)
The observations of the surfaces of the mid-sized saturnian satellites made by Cassini–Huygens mission have shown a variety of features that allows study of the processes that took place and are taking place on those worlds. ...
