Last giant impact on the Neptunian system: Constraints on oligarchic masses in the trans-Saturnian region
(2011)
Stochastic impacts by large bodies are, at present, the usually accepted mechanisms able to account for the obliquity of the ice giants. We attempt to set constraints on giant impacts as the cause of Neptune's current ...
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 ...

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. ...
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 ...
