Scientific paper

The icy moons of Saturn orbit within a dynamic environment, the effects of which leave fingerprints on the surfaces of the moons. We explore the interactions between the moons and their environments by studying UV spectra and images. Prior to Cassini, the icy moons of Saturn had not been studied in the far-UV (FUV). The ultraviolet is an important wavelength regime for studying the effects of space weathering processes, because primarily the uppermost layers of the regolith and grains are sensed. Here we present FUV results from observations by the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS).
