Physical properties of the small moon Aegaeon (Saturn LIII)
Aegaeon (Saturn LIII) is located within an arc of debris near the inner edge of Saturn’s G ring [1], and is the currently the smallest isolated moon of Saturn known [2]. On January 27, 2010 the Cassini spacecraft flew within 15,000 km of Aegaeon, obtaining images with sufficient spatial resolution (better than 100 meters/pixel) to resolve this tiny moon. These data reveal that the moon is stron...
متن کاملBlack Saturn with Dipole Ring
We present a new stationary, asymptotically flat solution of 5D EinsteinMaxwell gravity describing a Saturn-like black object: a rotating black hole surrounded by a rotating dipole black ring. The solution is generated by combining the vacuum black Saturn solution and the vacuum black ring solution with appropriately chosen parameters. Some basic properties of the solution are analyzed and the ...
متن کاملThe spectrum of a Saturn ring spoke from Cassini/VIMS
[1] On 2008, July, the Cassini/VIMS spectrometer detected spokes on the Saturn’s B ring for the first time. These are the first measurements of the complete reflectance spectrum of the spokes in a wide spectral range (0.35–0.51 mm). Here we will focus on a single broad-shaped spoke, imaged by VIMS on July, 9. Radiative transfer modeling supports a pure water ice composition for the spoke’s grai...
متن کاملCassini discovers a kinematic spiral ring around Saturn.
Since the time of the Voyager flybys of Saturn in 1980-1981, Saturn's eccentric F ring has been known to be accompanied on either side by faint strands of material. New Cassini observations show that these strands, initially interpreted as concentric ring segments, are in fact connected and form a single one-arm trailing spiral winding at least three times around Saturn. The spiral rotates arou...
