Scientific paper

Theoretical modelling of the contraction of the primitive protosaturnian cloud, using ideas of supersonic turbulent convection, suggests that each of Saturn's inner moons, excepting Rhea, condensed above the ice-point of water and consists primarily of hydrous magnetism silicates. It is predicted that Voyager 1 may find the satellite mean density steadily increase towards the planet and that the rocky moons are irregular in shape.
