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.

Astrophysics and Space Science, 1972
Results from numerical simulations of jetstreams are used to discuss certain aspects of the dynamics of the rings of Saturn. The probable velocity distribution inside the ring system is strongly non-Maxwellian. For the rings to form and remain a minimal degree of inelasticity is required.

Co-designing a Bespoken Wearable Display for People with Dissociative Identity Disorder
International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility, 2022Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is characterized by the presence of at least two distinct identities in the same individual. This paper describes a co-design process with a person living with DID.

Ye Shall Bear Witness: An Ethics of Survival in W.G. Sebald’s Rings of Saturn
Journal of Modern Literature, 2022:In Rings of Saturn, W.G. Sebald uses the concept of the Roche limit—the nearest a satellite can come to the object it orbits without being consumed by that object’s gravity— to draw a boundary around human suffering so that in bearing witness, we shall ...

Material Flux From the Rings of Saturn Into Its Atmosphere
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018During Cassini's final, spectacular months, in situ instruments made the first direct measurements of nanoparticles, finding an exceptionally large flow from the rings into Saturn's atmosphere.

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.

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.

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 ...

Are Saturn’s rings actually young?
Nature Astronomy, 2019Spectacular results from Cassini’s Grand Finale have provided constraints on the characteristics and evolutionary processes of Saturn’s rings. These results have been interpreted as proof that the rings are much younger than the Solar System, dramatically changing our view of the origin of the whole Saturnian system and attracting the attention of ...

Saturn's rings in the thermal infrared
Planetary and Space Science, 2003Abstract This paper reviews our current knowledge of Saturn's rings’ physical properties as derived from thermal infrared observations. Ring particle composition, surface structure and spin as well as the vertical structure of the main rings can be determined. These properties are the key to understand the origin and evolution of Saturn's rings. Ring
