Rough Estimates of Solar System Gravitomagnetic Effects in Post-Newtonian Gravity

Universe
In order to properly describe the gravity interactions, including the mass currents, in gravitomagnetism, we construct four Maxwell-type gravitational equations that are shown to be analogs of the Maxwell equations in electromagnetism.

The Composition of Saturn's Rings [PDF]

Icarus, 2002
Abstract A composite spectrum between 0.30 and 4.05 μm of Saturn's rings is analyzed using the Shkuratov scattering theory (Shkuratov et al. 1999, Icarus 137 , 235–246). Several types of surface and composition are discussed. We demonstrate that both the strong reddening over the interval 0.3–0.7 μm and the water ice absorption features are well ...

Origin and Evolution of Saturn's Ring System

, 2009
The origin and long-term evolution of Saturn's rings is still an unsolved problem in modern planetary science. In this chapter we review the current state of our knowledge on this long-standing question for the main rings (A, Cassini Division, B, C), the
