New Insights into Variations in Enceladus Plume Particle Launch Velocities from Cassini-VIMS Spectral Data
Enceladus’s plume consists mainly of a mixture of water vapor and solid ice particles that may originate from a subsurface ocean. The physical processes underlying Enceladus’s plume particle dynamics are still being debated, and quantifying the particles’ size distribution and launch velocities can...
