The Dynamics of Planetary Rings
Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 1982The discovery of ring systems around Uranus and Jupiter, and the Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft observations of Saturn, have shown that planetary rings are both more common and more complex than previously suspected. These ring systems, interesting in their own right, also serve as prototypes for more massive disk systems such as accretion disks ...

The physics of planetary rings
Soviet Physics Uspekhi, 1990A review of the collisional, collective, and resonance phenomena in planetary rings is presented. The following questions are examined: the reasons for the existence of planetary rings and the properties of a typical particle, the collisional breaking of loose bodies, and the azimuthal asymmetry effect for the rings of Saturn.

Occurrence of Planetary Rings with Shepherds
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2001We consider the system of planetary rings with shepherds as a restricted three or four-body problem, neglecting interactions between ring particles. We show that the generic occurrence of rings for the case of rotating short-range potentials can be extended to the case of gravitational potentials.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Physical and Engineering Sciences, 1994
Abstract The dynamics of planetary rings are reviewed in the light of data derived from the recent spacecraft missions to the outer planets. It is shown that although the ring systems of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune display a great diversity of phenomena and dynamical structures, they have many features and problems in common ...

Reviews of Geophysics, 1995
There is a rich phenomenology within the planetary rings surrounding the giant planets, most of it discovered by the Voyagers during their historic tours of t he outer solar system in the 1980s. In the last decade, there have been two detailed IUGG reviews of planetary rings.

The Charging of Planetary Rings
Space Science Reviews, 2008This chapter will review what is known about the charging of planetary rings, in particular the sum of the individual currents from the time-varying charge dQ/dt, of the planetary ring particle. For the smallest ring particles, in addition to checking the plasma conditions for the charging currents, one must consider if collective effects in the ring ...

Reviews of Geophysics, 1983
Planetary ring studies have evolved from observations of a single example, (Saturn), to related studies of a class of objects, in the last several years; in fact, this is the first IUGG review article on the subject. Therefore, it seems appropriate to cite at least review articles going back beyond 1979, if only as a guide to earlier literature ...

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1993
The rings in the solar system and the mathematical and physical approaches to understanding them are described. The variety of ring phenomena revealed in recent years from space and earth-based observations is emphasized. Ideas for the recent history of rings are examined in some detail.
