Saturn [PDF]

This lithograph shows images of Saturn, its rings, and four of its moons. The images were captured by the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft. They are accompanied by a brief description and history, some statistical facts, and important dates in the exploration ...

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

, 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.

The Sisyphus particle detector [PDF]

The particle measurement subsystem planned for the MJS 77 mission is described. Scientific objectives with respect to Saturn's rings are as follows: (1) measure particles outside the visible rings, including particulates orbiting in more distant rings ...

Ring particle sizes and composition derived from eclipse cooling curves and reflection spectra [PDF]

The probable chemistry of the Saturn rings is reviewed. Reflectance spectra for H20 and NH3 frosts and Saturn's rings are compared, along with temperature dependence of 1.6 microns water frost feature.

Near-infrared Spectroscopy for Remote Sensing of Porosity, Density, and Cubicity of Crystalline and Amorphous H2O Ices in Astrophysical Environments

The Astrophysical Journal
We present laboratory spectra of pure amorphous and crystalline H _2 O ices in the near-infrared (NIR, 1–2.5 μ m/10,000–4000 cm ^−1 ) at 80–180 K.

The Saturn System [Book Review] [PDF]

, 1979
A book about the Saturn system which predates the imminent discoveries of Pioneer 11 and Voyager would seem to be premature. However, this compendium of review papers on Saturn, its satellites, its rings, and its magnetosphere is the most ...
