1. Photometric Modeling of Saturn’s Rings: • Goal: Determine albedos of Saturn’s ring particles • Wrote ray-tracing radiative transfer code (Beam) to model brightness of Saturn’s rings • Compared results to observational data from Cassini’s Ultraviolet and Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) and Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) • Chief Collaborators: Dr. Jeffrey Cuzzi, NASA Ames Research Center; Dr. Heikki Salo, University of Oulu, Finland, Dr. Joshua Colwell, University of Central Florida 2. Impact Flashes in Saturn’s Rings: • Goal: Constrain flux of meteoroids through Saturn system and get new age estimate for rings • Used CTH shock-physics hydrodynamics code to model hypervelocity impacts between meteoroids and ring particles • Wrote radiative transfer code to analyze spectrum from impact-induced plume • Results were compared with data from Cassini’s Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) • Chief collaborators: Dr. Jeffrey Cuzzi, NASA Ames Research Center; Dr. Joshua Colwell, University of Central Florida 3. Global Effects from Giant Impacts on Saturn’s Moons: • Goal: Constrain interior structure of icy satellites based on comparing modeled impact-induced surface disruption with observations • Used smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code to model giant impacts and their effects • Analyzed antipodal damage from giant impacts on Tethys, Mimas and Rhea • Chief collaborator: Dr. Jeffery Moore, NASA Ames Research Center 1999-2001
