A Proposed Model for Cryovolcanic Activity on Enceladus Driven by Volatile Exsolution

• Recent studies for the ascent and eruption of Enceladus' plume have neglected the role of exsolution and expansion of dissolved volatiles. • Volatile-driven direct ocean-to-jet liquid water ascent is generally consistent with observations if combined with a sublimation co-plume. • This mode of ascent could preserve ocean bulk content in jets, leading to jet sampling strategies being preferred for future missions.
