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…
Dynamics of the Sharp Edges of Broad Planetary Rings
Joseph M. Hahn, Joseph N. Spitale, Carolyn C. Porco
(Abridged) The following describes a model of a broad planetary ring whose sharp edge is confined by a satellite's m^th Lindblad resonance (LR). This model uses a streamline formal…
The opposition effect in Saturn rings seen by Cassini/ISS: 1. Morphology of phase curves
Estelle Deau, Sebastien Charnoz, Luke Dones +2
The Cassini cameras have captured the opposition effect in Saturn rings with a high radial resolution at phase angles down to 0.01o in the entire main ring system. We derive phase…
