The Vertical Structure of the F Ring of Saturn from Ring-Plane Crossings [PDF]

open access: yes2013 Icarus, Volume 226, Issue 2, p. 1275-1293, 2013
We present a photometric model of the rings of Saturn which includes the main rings and an F ring, inclined to the main rings, with a Gaussian vertical profile of optical depth. This model reproduces the asymmetry in brightness between the east and west ansae of the rings of Saturn that was observed by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) within a few ...

Origin and Evolution of Saturn's Ring System [PDF]

open access: yes''Saturn After Cassini-Huygen'' Saturn from Cassini-Huygens, Dougherty, M.K.; Esposito, L.W.; Krimigis, S.M. (Ed.) (2009) 537-575, 2009
The origin and long-term evolution of Saturn's rings is still an unsolved problem in modern planetary science. In this chapter we review the current state of our knowledge on this long-standing question for the main rings (A, Cassini Division, B, C), the F Ring, and the diffuse rings (E and G).

Did Saturn's rings form during the Late Heavy Bombardment ? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The origin of Saturn\' s massive ring system is still unknown. Two popular scenarios - the tidal splitting of passing comets and the collisional destruction of a satellite - rely on a high cometary flux in the past. In the present paper we attempt to quantify the cometary flux during the Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) to assess the likelihood of both ...

Current Events at Saturn: Ring–Planet Electromagnetic Coupling

open access: goldThe Planetary Science Journal
This study presents a synthesized analysis of in situ and ground-based observations to investigate electromagnetic coupling between Saturn and its rings. During the Cassini Grand Finale, the magnetometer detected gradients in the azimuthal magnetic field

Charged dilatonic black rings and black saturns and their thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: greenPhys. Rev. D 90, 064022 (2014), 2014
In this article charged black rings and black saturns are constructed in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory in five dimensions. The neutral black ring and black saturn solutions are embedded in six dimensions and boosted with respect to the time coordinate and the added sixth dimension.

A Past Episode of Rapid Tidal Evolution of Enceladus?

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
Saturn possesses a dynamically rich system containing numerous moons and impressive rings. Whether the rings of Saturn are much younger than the planet itself has been a long-standing open question; more recently a young age has been proposed for some ...

Aeolization on the Atlantic coast of Galicia (NW Spain) from the end of the last glacial period to the present day: Chronology, origin and evolution of coastal dunes linked to sea‐level oscillations

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 198-214, January 2023., 2023
The Atlantic coast of NW Spain, where shingle beaches appear today, has suffered an important mobilization of dunes from a sea level about −120 m (bpsl), 20 ky ago. This aeolization caused the collapse of coastal/fluvial ecosystems (as forests) until the Late Holocene.
