One of the stranger planetary rings is Saturn's narrow, clumpy F ring, lying just outside the main rings, in a region disturbed by chaotic orbital dynamics. We show that the F ring has a …

INTRODUCTION Saturn's main ring system is associated with a family of small moons. Pan and Daphnis orbit within the A-ring's Encke Gap and Keeler Gap, respectively, whereas …
We consider Earth satellite orbits in the range of semimajor axes where the perturbing effects of Earth's oblateness and lunisolar gravity are of comparable order. This range …
Abstract Properties of the small inner satellites of Saturn are updated using final Cassini image data. The equatorial ridges on Pan and Atlas are morphologically, structurally, and …
Abstract Cuzzi et al.(2014) described the dynamical properties of Saturn's F Ring region numerically and analytically. They found that most of the region was dynamically chaotic due …
One could become an expert on Saturn's iconic rings pretty easily in the early 1970s, as very little was known about them beyond the distinction between the A, B, and C rings, and the …

The viscous spreading of planetary rings is believed to be counteracted by satellite torques, through either an individual resonance or overlapping resonances. For the A ring of Saturn …
