Abstract
Experimental data observation of the Saturn rings points to the conjecture that the particles constituting the rings may be superconductive. The main argument for this based on the fact that Saturn has a magnetic field and the temperature in its vicinity is low enough. Electromagnetic modeling shows the rings system emerges some time after appearance of the planetary magnetic field. Rings can be a result of the interaction of the superconducting carbon doped ice particles of the protoplanetary cloud with the nonuniform magnetic field. At the beginning all Keplerian orbits of the particles are located within protoplanetary cloud. After appearance of the magnetic field of Saturn, all iced particles demonstrate superconductivity and their orbits start to move to the magnetic equator plane where there is a minimum of magnetic energy. And then particles redistributed like iron particles nearby magnet on laboratory table forming system of rings and gaps. But rings particles are not stuck together because of Meissner phenomenon. The gravitational resonances and other interactions also play an important role and they help bring the order to the system of rings and gaps. It becomes to be clear why the rings appear only for the planets with magnetic field outside the asteroid belt such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Inside the asteroid belt Sun’s heat is destroying superconductivity. Scenario of the rings creation for all planets could be the same. So we are coming to the unified theory of the rings origin. The presented model allows enriching the well-known theories that treat gravitational, mechanical, gas-plasma, dusty plasma and magnetohydrodynamic interactions in a consistent way.
Highlights
The image of the magnetic field line deformation measured for the ring F by the Pioneer mission looks like the image of the magnetic field expulsed from the ring
It is of the same nature as for the well-know case of a small superconducting ceramic sample pushing out its own internal magnetic field, when exposed to a liquid nitrogen temperature
We proposed a novel mechanism of the rings which originate from the iced particles of the protoplanetary cloud after appearance of the magnetic field of Saturn
Summary
The rings appeared as a result of the electromagnetic interaction of iced particles of the protoplanetary cloud with the magnetic field of Saturn. We think it could happen if particles possess superconductivity as Saturn has a magnetic field and nearby of it the temperature is low enough, 70 - 110 K. TCHERNYI model would enrich classical theories of the rings origin in a consistent way. The role of superconductivity for the origin of Saturn rings for the first time was presented by A. We expect the proposed model that assumes existence of a superconducting fraction of the particles forming the Saturn rings would allow enhancing classical theories of the planetary rings.
