Photometric analyses of Saturn's small moons: Aegaeon, Methone and Pallene are dark; Helene and Calypso are bright
M. M. Hedman, P. Helfenstein, R. O. Chancia +4
We examine the surface brightnesses of Saturn's smaller satellites using a photometric model that explicitly accounts for their elongated shapes and thus facilitates comparisons am…
Occultation observations of Saturn's rings with Cassini VIMS
P. D. Nicholson, T. Ansty, M. M. Hedman +9
We describe the prediction, design, execution and calibration of stellar and solar occultation observations of Saturn's rings by the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS)…
Dynamics of multiple bodies in a corotation resonance: Conserved quantities and relevance to ring arcs
Joseph A. A'Hearn, Matthew M. Hedman, Maryame El Moutamid
The interactions among objects in a mean motion resonance are important for the orbital evolution of satellites and rings, especially Saturn's ring arcs and associated moons. In th…
Seasonal structures in Saturn's dusty Roche Division correspond to periodicities of the planet's magnetosphere
R. O. Chancia, M. M. Hedman, S. W. H. Cowley +2
We identify multiple periodic dusty structures in Saturn's Roche Division, a faint region spanning the km between the A and F rings. The locations and extent of these fe…
Using Cosmogenic Lithium, Beryllium and Boron to Determine the Surface Ages of Icy Objects in the Outer Solar System
M. M. Hedman
Given current uncertainties in the cratering rates and geological histories of icy objects in the outer solar system, it is worth considering how the ages of icy surfaces could be…
Axisymmetric density waves in Saturn's rings
M. M. Hedman, P. D. Nicholson
Density waves in Saturn's rings are usually tightly wrapped spiral patterns generated by resonances with either Saturn's moons or structures inside the planet. However, between the…
