Calibrating the clock of JWST

A. W. Shaw, D. L. Kaplan, P. Gandhi +19

JWST, despite not being designed to observe astrophysical phenomena that vary on rapid time scales, can be an unparalleled tool for such studies. If timing systematics can be contr…

The Uranus System from Occultation Observations (1977-2006): Rings, Pole Direction, Gravity Field, and Masses of Cressida, Cordelia, and Ophelia

Richard G. French, Matthew M. Hedman, Philip D. Nicholson +2

From 31 Earth-based and three Voyager 2 occultations spanning 1977--2006, we determine the orbital elements of the nine main Uranian rings with typical RMS residuals of 0.2 -- 0.4…

Kronoseismology V: A Panoply of Waves in Saturn's C Ring Driven by High-Order Internal Planetary Oscillations

R. G. French, B. Bridges, M. M. Hedman +3

Saturn's rings act as a system of innumerable test particles that are remarkably sensitive to periodic disturbances in the planet's gravitational field. We identify 15 additional d…

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…
