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…
Vertical structures induced by embedded moonlets in Saturn's rings: the gap region
Holger Hoffmann, Frank Spahn, Martin Seiß
We study the vertical extent of propeller structures in Saturn's rings. Our focus lies on the gap region of the propeller and on non-inclined propeller moonlets. In order to descri…
