The radial density profile of Saturn's A ring
Fabio M. Grätz, Michael Seiler, Martin Seiß +2
In this work, we model the radial density profile of the outer A ring of Saturn observed with Cassini cameras (Tiscareno & Harris 2018): An axisymmetric diffusion model has been de…

Analyzing Bleriot's propeller gaps in Cassini NAC images
Holger Hoffmann, Michael Seiler, Martin Seiß +1
Among the great discoveries of the Cassini mission are the propeller-shaped structures created by small moonlets embedded in Saturn's dense rings. We analyze images of the sunlit s…

Hydrodynamic Simulations of Asymmetric Propeller Structures in Saturn's Rings
M. Seiler, M. Seiß, H. Hoffmann +1
The observation of the non-Keplerian behavior of propeller structures in Saturn's outer A ring (Tiscareno et al. 2010, Seiler et al. 2017, Spahn et al. 2018) raises the question, h…
