Constraining Time Variations in Enceladus’s Water-vapor Plume with Near-infrared Spectra from Cassini’s Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer

Water vapor produces a series of diagnostic emission lines in the near-infrared between 2.60 and 2.75 μ m. The Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) on board the Cassini spacecraft detected this emission signal from Enceladus’s plume, and so VIMS observations provide information about the...
