Scientific paper

The Electron Spectrometer, ELS, of the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer, CAPS, was oriented for the direct sampling of material inside Enceladus's plume during two of the three close encounters with this moon in 2008, on March 12, and October 9. We present ELS observations obtained during these two encounters, approaching to within 52 and 25 km of the moon's surface, respectively. Several unanticipated features were observed within the plume; we present our interpretations of these features, comparing them with other instruments' observations of the plume and its surface sources.
