The Rings of Saturn [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
One could become an expert on Saturn's iconic rings pretty easily in the early 1970s, as very little was known about them beyond the distinction between the A, B, and C rings, and the Cassini Division or "gap" between rings A and B (Alexander, 1962; Bobrov, 1970).

Saturn's largest ring

Nature, 2009
Most planetary rings in the Solar System lie within a few radii of their host body, because at these distances gravitational accelerations inhibit satellite formation. The best known exceptions are Jupiter's gossamer rings and Saturn's E ring, broad sheets of dust that extend outward until they fade from view at five to ten planetary radii.

The Source of Saturn's G Ring

Science, 2007
The origin of Saturn's narrow G ring has been unclear. We show that it contains a bright arc located 167,495.6 ± 1.3 km from Saturn's center. This longitudinally localized material is trapped in a 7:6 corotation eccentricity resonance with the satellite Mimas.

Rings of a Super Saturn

Scientific American, 2015
The article focuses on research on rings discovered larger than that of Saturn planet. Topics discussed include discovery of a gargantuan planetary ring system by astronomers that is some 200 times larger than Saturn ring, collaboration of professional and amateur astronomers to study the system in detail and models suggesting that rings harbor a Mars ...

Saturn’s Rings

2021
Abstract Saturn’s rings are not only a beautiful and enduring symbol of space, but astronomers’ best local laboratory for studying phenomena in thin cosmic disks like those where planets formed. All the giant planets have ring systems. Saturn’s are the biggest and brightest.

The rings of Saturn

Space Science Reviews, 1975
This paper reviews observations of the rings of Saturn at visual, infrared, and radio wavelengths. Critical assessments are made of attempts to derive the physical characteristics of the rings from these measurements. A discussion is also given of the origin and evolution of the rings.
