Diapir-induced reorientation of Saturn's moon Enceladus

@article{Nimmo2006DiapirinducedRO, title={Diapir-induced reorientation of Saturn's moon Enceladus}, author={Francis Nimmo and Robert T. Pappalardo}, journal={Nature}, year={2006}, volume={441}, pages={614-616}, url={https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:4339342} }
This work shows that the current polar location of the hotspot of Enceladus can be explained by reorientation of the satellite's rotation axis because of the presence of a low-density diapir, and predicts that the distribution of impact craters on the surface will not show the usual leading hemisphere–trailing hemisphere asymmetry.

Shear heating as the origin of the plumes and heat flux on Enceladus

It is shown that the most likely explanation for the heat and vapour production is shear heating by tidally driven lateral (strike-slip) fault motion with displacement of ∼0.5 m over a tidal period, suggesting that the ice shell is decoupled from the silicate interior by a subsurface ocean.

Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) detected 3 to 7 gigawatts of thermal emission from the south polar troughs at temperatures up to 145 kelvin or higher, making Enceladus only the third known solid planetary body—after Earth and Io—that is sufficiently geologically active for its internal heat to be detected by remote sensing.
