Analysis of Clumps in Saturn's F Ring from Voyager and Cassini
Robert S. French, Shannon K. Hicks, Mark R. Showalter +2
Saturn's F ring is subject to dynamic structural changes over short periods. Among the observed phenomena are diffuse extended bright clumps (ECs) ~ 3-40 degrees in longitudinal ex…
Cupid is Doomed: An Analysis of the Stability of the Inner Uranian Satellites
Robert S. French, Mark R. Showalter
We have explored the stability of the inner Uranian satellites using simulations based on the most recent observational data. We find that, across a wide range of mass assumptions,…
The Brightening of Saturn's F Ring
Robert S. French, Mark R. Showalter, Rafael Sfair +5
Image photometry reveals that the F ring is approximately twice as bright during the Cassini tour as it was during the Voyager flybys of 1980 and 1981. It is also three times as wi…
Resonant Chains and Three-body Resonances in the Closely-Packed Inner Uranian Satellite System
Alice C. Quillen, Robert S. French
Numerical integrations of the closely-packed inner Uranian satellite system show that variations in semi-major axes can take place simultaneously between three or four consecutive…
