Saturn Small Moon Shape Models
Digital shape models have been constructed from Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) data for eleven of the small satellites of Saturn and delivered to the Planetary Data System. These satellites are: Pan, Daphnis, Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Epimetheus, Janus, Telesto, Calypso, Helene, and Hyperion. These models typically have uncertainties well under 0.5 km. They are appropriate for global geometric, geologic, and geophysical studies, and regional slope and topography study. They are useful in studying morphologies of only the relatively largest-sized craters. Studies based on early versions of these shape models are in Thomas et al., 2013.
