Statistics of Saturn Ring occultations
We calculate the excess variance, excess skewness and excess kurtosis including the effects of cylindrical shadows, along with gaps, ghosts and clumps (all calculated for the granola bar model for rectangular clumps and gaps). The widths and separation of the clumps play an analogous role to the relative size of the particle shadows, δ ...
