Abstract
The Saturn and Uranian ring system contain a number of narrow eccentric ringlets. Several of the Uranian ringlets are also inclined to the planet's equator. We show that the self-gravity is probably responsible for maintaining apse and node alignment across these ringlets. This hypothesis leads to the prediction that within each ringlet both the eccentricity and the inclination increase with semimajor axis.
