Revised orbits of Saturn's small inner satellites (2008)

Jacobson, R. A., Spitale, J., Porco, C. C., Beurle, K., Cooper, N. J., Evans, M. W., ...

We have updated the orbits of the small inner Saturnian satellites using additional Cassini imaging observations through 2007 March. Statistically significant changes from previously published values...

Cassini imaging of Saturn : southern hemisphere winds and vortices (2007)

Vasavada, A. R., Horst, S. M., Kennedy, M. R., Ingersoll, A. P., Porco, C. C., Del Genio, A. D., ...

High-resolution images of Saturn’s southern hemisphere acquired by the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem between February and October 2004 are used to create maps of cloud morphology at several...

High resolution Cassini-VIMS mosaics of Titan and the icy Saturnian satellites (2006)

Jaumann, R., Stephan, K., Brown, R.H., Buratti, B.J., Clark, R.N., McCord, T.B., ...

The Visual Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) onboard the CASSINI spacecraft obtained new spectral data of the icy satellites of Saturn after its arrival at Saturn in June 2004. VIMS operates in a...

Topographic features of Ithaca Chasma, Tethys (2006)

Giese, B., Wagner, R., Neukum, G., Helfenstein, P., Porco, C. C.

Ithaca Chasma is the most prominent tectonic feature on Tethys (R~530 km). It was first seen in Voyager I images as an enormous valley about 1000 km long and 50 to 100 km wide. The origin of this...

High-resolution CASSINI-VIMS mosaics of Titan and the icy Saturnian satellites (2006)

Jaumann, R., Stephan, K., Brown, R. H., Buratti, B. J., Clark, R. N., McCord, T. B., ...

The Visual Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) onboard the CASSINI spacecraft obtained new spectral data of the icy satellites of Saturn after its arrival at Saturn in June 2004. VIMS operates in a...

Cassini Imaging Science: Initial Results on Saturn's Rings and Small Satellites (2005)

Porco, C.C., Baker, E., Barbara, J., Beurle, K., Brahic, A., Burns, J.A., ...

Images acquired of Saturn's rings and small moons by the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) during the first 9 months of Cassini operations at Saturn have produced many new findings. These...

Cassini Imaging Science: Initial Results on Phoebe and Iapetus (2005)

Porco, C.C., Baker, E., Barbara, J., Beurle, K., Brahic, A., Burns, J.A., ...

The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem acquired high-resolution imaging data on the outer Saturnian moon, Phoebe, during Cassini's close flyby on 11 June 2004 and Iapetus during a flyby on 31 december...

Cassini Imaging Science: Initial Results on Saturn's Atmosphere (2005)

Porco, C.C., Baker, E., Barbara, J., Beurle, K., Brahic, A., Burns, J.A., ...

The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) began observing Saturn in early February 2004. From analysis of cloud motions through October 2004, we report vertical wind shear in Saturn's equatorial...

The first six month of Iapetus observations by the Cassini ISS camera (2005)

Denk, T., Neukum, G., Helfenstein, P., Thomas, P.C., Turtle, E.P., McEwen, A.S., ...

Since arrival at Saturn, Iapetus has been studied intensively by the Cassini ISS camera. The results of the first half year of observations until before the New Year's Eve flyby are described.

First imaging results from the Iapetus B/C flyby of the Cassini spacecraft (2005)

Denk, T., Neukum, G., Roatsch, T., McEwen, A.S., Turtle, E.P., Thomas, P.C., ...

Cassini had a relatively close flyby at Iapetus on New Year's Eve 2005. The 288 ISS images set various constraints on the origin theories of the dark/bright dichotomy, as revealed multiple surface...

The topography of Iapetus' leading side (2005)

Giese, B., Denk, T., Neukum, G., Porco, C. C., Roatsch, T., Wagner, R.

We have used Cassini-stereo images to derive a topographic model of Iapetus' leading side. The model reveals that Iapetus has substantial topography with heights (referenced to a 747 x 744 x 713 km...

Cassini Imaging Science: Instrument Characteristics And Anticipated Scientific Investigations At Saturn (2004)

Porco, C.C., West, R.A., Squyres, S., McEwen, A., Thomas, P., Murray, C.D., ...

The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) is the highest-resolution two-dimensional imaging device on the Cassini Orbiter and has been designed for investigations of the bodies and phenomena found...

Cassini Imaging of Jupiter's Atmosphere, Satellites, and Rings (2003)

Porco, C.C., West, R.A., McEwen, A.S., Del Genio, A.D., Ingersoll, A.P., Thomas, P.C., ...

The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem acquired about 26,000 images of the Jupiter system as the spacecraft encountered the giant planet en route to Saturn. We report findings on Jupiter's zonal...

Iapetus – Summary of recent work, prospects for Cassini (1999)

Denk, T., Neukum, G., Jaumann, R., Roatsch, T., Noll, K.S., Porco, C.C., ...

The Saturnian satellite Iapetus is one ofthe most unusual bodies of the solar system due to its extreme albedo dichotomy between the dark leading site, the bright trailing side, and the bright polar...
