Free Unstable Modes and Massive Bodies in Saturn's Outer B Ring

Joseph N. Spitale, Carolyn C. Porco

Voyager images and Cassini occultation data have previously shown that the behavior of the outer edge of Saturn's massive B ring is determined only in part by a static response to…

An analytic parameterization of self-gravity wakes in Saturn's rings, with application to occultations and propellers

Matthew S. Tiscareno, Randall P. Perrine, Derek C. Richardson +4

We have developed a semi-analytic method of parameterizing N-body simulations of self-gravity wakes in Saturn's rings, describing their properties by means of only 6 numbers: 3 opt…

The Case of AB Aurigae's Disk in Polarized Light: Is There Truly a Gap?

Marshall D. Perrin, Glenn Schneider, Gaspard Duchene +4

Using the NICMOS coronagraph, we have obtained high-contrast 2.0 micron imaging polarimetry and 1.1 micron imaging of the circumstellar disk around AB Aurigae on angular scales of…

Dynamics of the Sharp Edges of Broad Planetary Rings

Joseph M. Hahn, Joseph N. Spitale, Carolyn C. Porco

(Abridged) The following describes a model of a broad planetary ring whose sharp edge is confined by a satellite's m^th Lindblad resonance (LR). This model uses a streamline formal…

An improvement to the volcano-scan algorithm for atmospheric correction of CRISM and OMEGA spectral data

Patrick C. McGuire, Janice L. Bishop, Adrian J. Brown +12

The observations of Mars by the CRISM and OMEGA hyperspectral imaging spectrometers require correction for photometric, atmospheric and thermal effects prior to the interpretation…
