Dielectric Profiling of Enceladus' Surface in the Tiger Stripe Region
Abstract
Enceladus' active geysers deposit a layer of unconsolidated ice grains, estimated to be of order 100 m thick. The permittivity of this layer must be accounted for in radar searches for a near-surface aquifer in future astro-biology missions.
