A Potential Mushy Source for the Geysers of Enceladus and Other Icy Satellites
Abstract Enceladus is a target for astrobiology due to the H2O plume ejecta measured by the Cassini spacecraft and the inferred subsurface ocean that could be the source of the geysers. Here we explore an alternative where shear heating along tiger stripe fractures produces partial melting in the ic...
