| Zusammenfassung |
| There are ongoing arguments with regards to the Enceldaus plume, both on the total mass of ice particles produced by the plume in kg/s, as well as the structure of plume ejection along the tiger stripes. Herein, results from Cassini’s Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA) and Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) are used in conjunction with large-scale plume simulations to resolve each of these issues. Additional results are provided on the short-term variability of the plume, and the relation of specifc surface deposition features to emissions along given areas of the tiger stripes.
By adjusting their plume model to the dust flux measured by the Cassini dust detector during the close Enceladus flyby in 2005, Schmidt et al. (2008) obtained a total dust production rate in the plumes of about |
