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…

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…
