Abstract
A comparison of light curves during occultation of stars by ε ring of Uranus indicate that this ring assembly possesses stable fine structures. The light curves observed during several events show almost similar fine structure across its width. Nicholson et al. (1982) quantitatively compared the separation of the five optical depth maxima, and concluded that no systematic variation of the normalised spacing, either with ring segment width or with data of observation was apparent. We have investigated the possibility of this having structure of a twisted bundle of narrow lanes of condensed material similar to that of Saturn’s F ring (Ref 4) and report the findings.
