Abstract
⺠Enceladus could have formed with organics from comets or Titan-like tholin. ⺠Internal processes include the Fisher-Tropsch synthesis, water-rock reactions, or biology. ⺠Acetylene provides an important constraint and could only be of cometary origin. ⺠CO is expected from cometary origin, but could be consumed by internal processes. ⺠C2H4 could come from comet and could be produced by internal processes.
