A Recent Impact Origin of Saturn’s Rings and Mid-sized Moons by Teodoro, L. F. A., Kegerreis, J. A., Estrada, P. R., Ćuk, M., Eke, V. R., Cuzzi, J. N., Massey, R. J., Sandnes, T. D.

“…Abstract We simulate the collision of precursor icy moons analogous to Dione and Rhea as a possible origin for Saturn’s remarkably young rings. Such an event…”

Solving the Coagulation Equation by the Moments Method by Estrada, P. R, Cuzzi, J. N

“…We demonstrate an approach to solving the coagulation equation that involves using a finite number of moments of the particle size distribution. This approach…”

Formation of the regular satellites of giant planets in an extended gaseous nebula I: subnebula model and accretion of satellites by Mosqueira, Ignacio, Estrada, Paul R.

“…We model the subnebulae of Jupiter and Saturn wherein satellite accretion took place. We expect each giant planet subnebula to be composed of an optically…”

Cassini microwave observations provide clues to the origin of Saturn's C ring by Zhang, Z., Hayes, A.G., Janssen, M.A., Nicholson, P.D., Cuzzi, J.N., de Pater, I., Dunn, D.E., Estrada, P.R., Hedman, M.M.

“…•High observed brightness at near-zero azimuth, imply particles are 70–75% porous.•Intramixed non-icy fractions are generally 1–2%, but reach 6–11% in the mid…”

Formation of the regular satellites of giant planets in an extended gaseous nebula II: satellite migration and survival by Mosqueira, Ignacio, Estrada, Paul R.

“…For a satellite to survive in the disk the time scale of satellite migration must be longer than the time scale for gas dissipation. For large satellites…”

Voyager color photometry of Saturn's main rings: a correction by Estrada, Paul R., Cuzzi, Jeffrey N., Showalter, Mark R.

“…We correct a calibration error in our earlier analysis of Voyager color observations of Saturn's main rings at 14° phase angle (Estrada and Cuzzi, 1996, Icarus…”

A gas-poor planetesimal capture model for the formation of giant planet satellite systems by Estrada, Paul R., Mosqueira, Ignacio

“…Assuming that an unknown mechanism (e.g., gas turbulence) removes most of the subnebula gas disk in a timescale shorter than that for satellite formation, we…”
