Scientific paper

We present dynamical models of dust ejection from Enceladus' south pole, using distributions of particle speeds and sizes from a new model of condensation of small ice grains in water vapor. The model suggests a size-speed relation, such that with increasing radius the grains become increasingly slower than the gas speed. For certain ranges of the parameters of our model we can fit simultaneously the measurements of the Cosmic Dust Analyzer and the line of sight column densities of particles obtained by photometry of ISS images of the brightest parts of the dust plume.
