Frontiers in Planetary Rings Science

Shawn M. Brooks, Tracy M. Becker, K. Baillié +25

We now know that the outer solar system is host to at least six diverse planetary ring systems, each of which is a scientifically compelling target with the potential to inform us…

How Janus' Orbital Swap Affects the Edge of Saturn's A Ring?

Maryame El Moutamid, Philip D. Nicholson, Richard G. French +6

We present a study of the behavior of Saturn's A ring outer edge, using images and occultation data obtained by the Cassini spacecraft over a period of 8 years from 2006 to 2014. M…

Cassini ISS Mutual Event Astrometry of the Mid-sized Saturnian Satellites 2005-2012

N. J. Cooper, C. D. Murray, V. Lainey +3

We present astrometric observations of the Saturnian satellites Mimas, Enceladus, Tethys, Dione and Rhea from Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) narrow-angle camera (NAC) imag…

Saturn's inner satellites : orbits, masses and the chaotic motion of Atlas from new Cassini imaging observations

N. J. Cooper, S. Renner, C. D. Murray +1

We present numerically-derived orbits and mass estimates for the inner Saturnian satellites, Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Janus and Epimetheus from a fit to 2580 new Cassini ISS ast…

Physical characteristics and non-keplerian orbital motion of "propeller" moons embedded in Saturn's rings

Matthew S. Tiscareno, Joseph A. Burns, Miodrag Sremčević +8

We report the discovery of several large "propeller" moons in the outer part of Saturn's A ring, objects large enough to be followed over the 5-year duration of the Cassini mission…

Aegaeon (Saturn LIII), a G-ring object

M. M. Hedman, N. J. Cooper, C. D. Murray +4

Aegaeon (Saturn LIII, S/2008 S1) is a small satellite of Saturn that orbits within a bright arc of material near the inner edge of Saturn's G ring. This object was observed in 21 i…
