The radial density profile of Saturn's A ring

Fabio M. Grätz, Michael Seiler, Martin Seiß +2

In this work, we model the radial density profile of the outer A ring of Saturn observed with Cassini cameras (Tiscareno & Harris 2018): An axisymmetric diffusion model has been de…

Sharp gap edges in dense planetary rings: An axisymmetric diffusion model

Fabio Grätz, Martin Seiß, Jürgen Schmidt +2

One of the most intriguing facets of Saturn's rings are the sharp edges of gaps in the rings where the surface density abruptly drops to zero. This is despite of the fact that the…

Analyzing Bleriot's propeller gaps in Cassini NAC images

Holger Hoffmann, Michael Seiler, Martin Seiß +1

Among the great discoveries of the Cassini mission are the propeller-shaped structures created by small moonlets embedded in Saturn's dense rings. We analyze images of the sunlit s…

Hydrodynamic Simulations of Asymmetric Propeller Structures in Saturn's Rings

M. Seiler, M. Seiß, H. Hoffmann +1

The observation of the non-Keplerian behavior of propeller structures in Saturn's outer A ring (Tiscareno et al. 2010, Seiler et al. 2017, Spahn et al. 2018) raises the question, h…

A Librational Model for the Propeller Blériot in the Saturnian Ring System

M. Seiler, M. Seiß, H. Hoffmann +1

The reconstruction of the orbital evolution of the propeller structure Blériot orbiting in Saturn's A ring from recurrent observations in Cassini ISS images yielded a considerable…

Hydrodynamic simulations of moonlet induced propellers in Saturn's rings: Application to Bleriot

Martin Seiß, Nicole Albers, Miodrag Sremcevic +5

One of the biggest successes of the Cassini mission is the detection of small moons (moonlets) embedded in Saturn's rings which cause S-shaped density structures in their close vic…
