Science opportunities with solar sailing smallsats
Slava G. Turyshev, Darren Garber, Louis D. Friedman +25
Recently, we witnessed how the synergy of small satellite technology and solar sailing propulsion enables new missions. Together, small satellites with lightweight instruments and…
Dynamics of Saturn's great storm of 2010-2011 from Cassini ISS and RPWS
Kunio M. Sayanagi, Ulyana A. Dyudina, Shawn P. Ewald +6
Saturn's quasi-periodic planet-encircling storms are the largest convecting outbursts in the Solar System. The last eruption was in 1990. A new eruption started in December 2010 an…
Probing the inner boundaries of Saturn's A ring with the Iapetus -1:0 nodal bending wave
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Matthew M. Hedman, Joseph A. Burns +2
The Iapetus -1:0 nodal bending wave, the first spiral wave ever described in Saturn's rings, has been seen again for the first time in 29 years. We demonstrate that it is in fact t…
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…
Free Unstable Modes and Massive Bodies in Saturn's Outer B Ring
Joseph N. Spitale, Carolyn C. Porco
Voyager images and Cassini occultation data have previously shown that the behavior of the outer edge of Saturn's massive B ring is determined only in part by a static response to…
An analytic parameterization of self-gravity wakes in Saturn's rings, with application to occultations and propellers
Matthew S. Tiscareno, Randall P. Perrine, Derek C. Richardson +4
We have developed a semi-analytic method of parameterizing N-body simulations of self-gravity wakes in Saturn's rings, describing their properties by means of only 6 numbers: 3 opt…
