Abstract

Control point calculations using Cassini images reveal that Enceladus’ obliquity is limited to less than 0.05° (95% confidence level). This definitely rules out models explaining Enceladus’ activity and anomalously high surface heat flows on the basis of obliquity-related tidal heating (OTH).
