Plume Activity and Tidal Deformation on Enceladus Influenced by Faults and Variable Ice Shell Thickness

We investigated the effect of variations in ice shell thickness and of the tiger stripe fractures crossing Enceladus' south polar terrain on the moon's tidal deformation by performing finite element calculations in three-dimensional geometry. The combination of thinning in the polar region...
