Scientific paper

Charged nanometer sized grains in the Enceladus south-pole eruptive plume have been detected by the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) during the two encounters E3 and E5 (Jones et al., 2009). A much weaker signal of negatively charged nanograins (but no positively charged ones) was also detected by CAPS during E7 (Hill et al., 2011 MOP conference). We will analyze the observations of the nanograins during these three encounters and compare the nanograin measurements with our previous analysis of the Cassini Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) measurements of the water vapor plumes (Dong et al., 2011). We will also study the motion and the charging mechanism of the nanograins, and analyze the corresponding results from the upcoming E14 encounter (Oct. 1, 2011).
