AB: We have used our new multi-species, Hall MHD model to study the interaction of Saturn's magnetosphere with Enceladus. We used neutral densities, consistent with the values observed during the Cassini's July 14, 2005 flyby of Enceladus. We used a simple ion chemistry scheme and approximated the upstream conditions from CAPS and MAG observations. We compare our calculated plasma and magnetic field values with the observed ones.
