Black 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 کاملDetection of arcs in Saturn ’ s F ring during the 1995 Sun ring - plane crossing
Observations of the November 1995 Sun crossing of the Saturn’s ring-plane made with the 3.6m CFH telescope, using the UHAO adaptive optics system, are presented here. We report the detection of four arcs located in the vicinity of the F ring. They can be seen one day later in HST images. The combination of both data sets gives accurate determinations of their orbits. Semimajor axes range from 1...
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...
متن کاملSaturn ’ S Diffuse E Ring and Its Connection with Enceladus
Introduction: Saturn’s E ring is the second largest planetary ring in the solar system, encompassing the icy satellites of Mimas (rM = 3.07RS), Enceladus (rE = 3.95RS), Tethys (rT = 4.88RS), Dione (rD = 6.25RS), Rhea (rR = 8.73R), and Titan (rR = 20.25RS). Enceladus was proposed early on as the dominant source of ring particles [1], since the edge-on brightness profile peaks near the moon’s mea...
