| 内容記述 | Spacecraft and ground-based optical, radio and spectrophotometric data on the Saturn satellites are reviewed for clues as to the composition and microstructures of the objects. Minas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione and Rhea have similar photometric phase integrals, with some diversion exhibited by Rhea. Hyperion is nearly the same color as Iapetus, which displays an overall hemispherical optical asymmetry. Water ice has been observed on many of the satellites and on small, cratered objects within the rings. The frost layers are more extensive than those detected on Jovian satellites. Titan has a methane atmosphere. Finally, Phoebe is suspected of being a captured, asteroidal body. |
