Modeling the Core Porosity on Enceladus

Abstract: <p><strong>Introduction:</strong> The Cassini mission revealed gas plumes at the south pole of Enceladus that are considered in the context of hydrothermal circulation in the rocky core. We model the internal evolution and differentiation of Enceladus heated by radioactive nuclides and tidal dissipation and investigate core compaction by modeling the evolution of porosity, thereby varying the rock rheology based on different assumptions on the composition.</p&am… Show more
