Scientific rationale for Saturn׳ s in situ exploration
...Published in Planetary and Space Science
Remote sensing observations meet some limitations when used to study the bulk atmospheric composition of the giant planets of our solar system. A remarkable example of the superiority of in situ probe measurements is illustrated by the exploration of Jupiter, where key measurements such as the determination of the noble gases׳ abundances and the pr...
Occultation evidence for a satellite of the Trojan asteroid (911) Agamemnon
Published in Planetary and Space Science
On 2012 January 19, observers in the northeastern United States of America observed an occultation of 8.0-mag HIP 41337 star by the Jupiter–Trojan (911) Agamemnon, including one video recorded with a 36 cm telescope that shows a deep brief secondary occultation that is likely due to a satellite, of about 5 km (most likely 3–10 km) across, at 278±5 ...
2007 Mutual events within the binary system of (22) Kalliope
Published in Planetary and Space Science
In 2007, the asteroid Kalliope will reach one of its annual equinoxes. As a consequence, its small satellite Linus orbiting in the equatorial plane will undergo a season of mutual eclipses and occultations very similar to the one that the Galilean satellites undergo every 6 years. This paper is aimed at preparing a campaign of observations of these...

Formation of the “ponds” on asteroid (433) Eros by fluidization
Published in Planetary and Space Science
The “ponds” on asteroid (433) Eros are fine-grained deposits approximating flat (quasi-equipotential) surfaces with respect to local topographic depressions (eg, craters) in spacecraft images. These ponds are discussed in the context of laboratory simulation experiments, crater-related ponded and pitted deposits observed on Mars and Vesta, terrestr...
