A radiation belt of energetic protons located between Saturn and its rings

, 2018
Saturn has a sufficiently strong dipole magnetic field to trap high-energy charged particles and form radiation belts, which have been observed outside its rings. Whether stable radiation belts exist near the planet and inward of the rings was previously

Studies on the Rings of Saturn

This article outlines ideas on Saturn's rings and their physical effect. The authors present arguments that the reflective properties of the rings indicate they consist of metal particles in a superconducting ...

Structure of Saturn's rings: Optical and dynamical considerations

, 1974
The photometric phase curves of Saturn's rings are considered, as well as a conflict between dynamical and photometric models of the rings. The dependence of ring brightness on angular separation of the earth and sun as viewed from Saturn is discussed ...

Infrared observations of saturn and Titan from Cassini

, 2007
The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) aboard the Cassini spacecraft has been orbiting Saturn for 2-1/2 years. CIRS is a Fourier transform spectrometer that measures atmospheric thermal structure and dynamics, and atmospheric composition, of Saturn ...

Near-Infrared Brightness of Saturn

, 2016
An SSP-4 photometer and filters transformed to the Mauna Kea J and H system were used in measuring the brightness of Saturn + rings (hereafter “Saturn”) in 2014 and 2015.

Characterizing the Particle Size Distribution in Saturn\u27s Rings Using Cassini UVIS Stellar Occultation Data

, 2022
NASA\u27s Cassini mission to Saturn revolutionized modern understanding of the planet\u27s vast and intricate ring system. We use stellar occultation data from Cassini\u27s UVIS High Speed Photometer (HSP) to characterize the particle size distribution ...

Origin and evolution of the Saturn system: Observational consequences

, 1978
A number of important cosmogonic questions concerning the Saturn system can be addressed with a Saturn-orbiter-dual-probe spacecraft mission. These questions include: The origin of the Saturn system; the source of Saturn's excess luminosity; the ...
