The Inner Structure of Enceladus - Physical Conditions at the Bottom of its Potential Subsurface Water Reservoir
Abstract
Here we present a model of the inner structure of Enceladus, which is an advanced version of the model presented in [6]. This conception is based on a three layer model, also used in the uncompressed density model by [3], that allows us to determine the radial gradients of mass, gravity, and pressure. We give estimations on the physical conditions at the sea floor of the potential subsurface water reservoir of Enceladus.
