Saturn's Plasma Density Depletions Along Magnetic Field Lines Connected to the Main Rings
We report on a set of clear and abrupt decreases in the high‐frequency boundary of whistler mode emissions detected by Cassini at high latitudes (about ±40°) during the low‐altitude proximal flybys of Saturn. These abrupt decreases or dropouts have start

The Ruin as Kairos in W. G. Sebald’s The Rings of Saturn
Beyond the obvious semiotic heterogeneity of linguistic signs and visual images, which accounts for the disruptive force of the inserted visual material in Sebald’s novel The Rings of Saturn, the text and image relation in this novel is a particular site

A Gap-sharing Planet Pair Shaping the Crescent in HD 163296: A Disk Sculpted by a Resonant Chain
The Atacama Large Millimeter Array observations of the disk around HD 163296 have resolved a crescent-shape substructure at around 55 au, inside and off-center from a gap in the dust that extends from 38 to 62 au.

Seasons on Saturn. I. Changes in reflecting characteristics of the atmosphere at 1964–2012
Due to considerable tilting of the equator to the orbital plane, presence of rings and elongation of the orbit around the Sun, Saturn is strongly affected by seasonal changes in the solar radiation influx. Such change of the mode of irradiation of Saturn'

Rotation Reduces Convective Mixing in Jupiter and Other Gas Giants
Recent measurements of Jupiter’s gravitational moments by the Juno spacecraft and seismology of Saturn’s rings suggest that the primordial composition gradients in the deep interior of these planets have persisted since their formation.

Corotation-driven magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling currents in Saturn’s magnetosphere and their relation to the auroras [PDF]
We calculate the latitude profile of the equatorward-directed ionospheric Pedersen currents that are driven in Saturn’s ionosphere by partial corotation of the magnetospheric plasma.

Using the inverse scattering method we construct an exact stationary asymptotically flat 4+1-dimensional vacuum solution describing Black Saturn: a spherical black hole surrounded by a black ring. Angular momentum keeps the configuration in equilibrium.

Seasons on Saturn. II. Influence of solar activity on variation of methane absorption
Methane and ammonia in the atmosphere of Saturn are in the form of impurities at the level of less than tenths of a percentage. They take part in photochemical processes, the main products of which are hydrocarbons and ammonia NH_3. Polyacetylenes absorb

A Melancholy Journey through Landscapes of Transience
Saturn is the planet of melancholy, about which Walter Benjamin writes: “I came into the world under the sign of Saturn - the star of the slowest revolution, the planet of detours and delays.” W. G.

Le récit intermédial comme dispositif traumatique dans The Rings of Saturn de W. G. Sebald
In The Rings of Saturn, the reading process is experienced by the reader in terms of temporal variations. Sebald’s novel is indeed the combination of a narrative and of visual materials — photographs in particular — which sever the narrative thread and ...
