The Bombardment History of the Giant Planet Satellites
The Planetary Science JournalThe origins of the giant planet satellites are debated, with scenarios including formation from a protoplanetary disk, sequential assembly from massive rings, and recent accretion after major satellite–satellite collisions.

The theory of the divisions in Saturn's rings [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1941 Abstract In an earlier paper on this subject the author (1921) proposed a theory of the rings which showed satisfactory agreement with the observed measurements of the rings. The mathematical method was, however, subjected to criticism.

The Mariner Jupiter/Saturn ring occultation experiment
, 1974 Radio occultation measurements of Saturn's rings as measured by the Mariner Jupiter/Saturn radio science experiment are reported. These signal measurements provide information on size, distribution, and density of particle material found in the ...

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

Diving within Saturn's rings [PDF]
Science, 2018 ![Figure][1] A diagram of Cassini's final orbits (blue curves), showing the last ring-grazing orbit and the 22 Grand Finale orbits. IMAGE: NASA JET PROPULSION LABORATORY Launched in 1997, the Cassini spacecraft arrived at Saturn in 2004 and spent the following 12 years orbiting far outside the planet's rings.

Almost Periodic Hill's Equation and the Rings of Saturn [PDF]
, 1981 Incommensurate perturbations of classical orbits lead to an almost periodic Hill's operator whose spectrum, we argue, is a Cantor set, but one with large Lebesgue measure.

The Mariner Jupiter/Saturn photopolarimeter experiment
, 1974 Observations of Saturn's rings by the Mariner Jupiter/Saturn photopolarimeter are studied. From these observations attempts were made to: (1) determine the size, shape, albedo, distribution, and orientation of particles in the rings, (2) measure ...

Conclusions and recommendations: Exploration of the Saturn system
, 1978 Saturn missions have the following principal goals, in order of importance: (1) Intensive investigation of the atmosphere of Saturn; (2) determination of regional surface chemistry and properties of the surface features of satellites and properties of ...

The Mariner Jupiter/Saturn visual imaging system
, 1974 Attempts were made to determine the spatial distribution of materials and brightness temperature of Saturn's rings using observations made by the visual imaging system of the Mariner Jupiter/Saturn ...
