The linear stability of dilute particulate rings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Irregular structure in planetary rings is often attributed to the intrinsic instabilities of a homogeneous state undergoing Keplerian shear. Previously these have been analysed with simple hydrodynamic models. We instead employ a kinetic theory, in which

Analysis and Research of the Planetary Ring Bevel Gear Power Split Type Continuously Variable Transmission

open access: yesJixie chuandong, 2017
Based on the traditional traction planetary ring cone friction continuously variable transmission,the planetary ring bevel gear power split type continuously variable transmission is firstly proposed,and the derivation with two methods of its overall ...

A Dust Halo from Saturn’s Main Rings Extending Several Saturnian Radii above the Ring Plane

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
During the Grand Finale orbits, the Cassini spacecraft orbited Saturn with high inclinations and perikrones near the ring plane crossings. The Cosmic Dust Analyzer sampled ice and mineral dust particles during these orbits.

Dusty plasma in space [PDF]

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional, 1998
Dusty plasmas consist of electrons, ions and charged dust particles observed in several astro-and space-physical environments such as nebulas, cometary tails, planetary rings, and planetary ionospheres.

Detecting transit signatures of exoplanetary rings using SOAP3.0 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
CONTEXT. It is theoretically possible for rings to have formed around extrasolar planets in a similar way to that in which they formed around the giant planets in our solar system. However, no such rings have been detected to date. AIMS: We aim to test

The Yarkovsky Effect on the Long-term Evolution of Binary Asteroids

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We explore the Yarkovsky effect on small binary asteroids. While significant attention has been given to the binary YORP effect, the Yarkovsky effect is often overlooked.

Seasonal variation of radial brightness contrast of Saturn's rings viewed in mid-infrared by Subaru/COMICS

open access: yes, 2016
Aims. To investigate the mid-infrared (MIR) characteristics of Saturn's rings. Methods. We collected and analyzed MIR high spatial resolution images of Saturn's rings obtained in January 2008 and April 2005 with COMICS mounted on Subaru Telescope, and ...

Simulating planet migration in globally evolving disks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Numerical simulations of planet-disk interactions are usually performed with hydro-codes that -- because they consider only an annulus of the disk, over a 2D grid -- can not take into account the global evolution of the disk.

JWST/MIRI Study of the Enigmatic Mid-infrared Rings in the Planetary Nebula NGC 1514

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
While NGC 1514 is an elliptical, but complex, planetary nebula at optical wavelengths, it was discovered to have a pair of infrared-bright, axisymmetric rings contained within its faint outer shell during the course of the Wide-field Infrared Survey ...

Phase-Space Volume of Regions of Trapped Motion: Multiple Ring Components and Arcs

open access: yes, 2008
The phase--space volume of regions of regular or trapped motion, for bounded or scattering systems with two degrees of freedom respectively, displays universal properties. In particular, sudden reductions in the phase-space volume or gaps are observed at
