Abstract

ABSTRACTThe evolution and behavior of Saturn’s rings may be influenced by relatively large ring particles. We describe how an important mass fraction of the rings may reside in particles with dimensions of tens of meters to kilometers, which are too few to be seen by radio occultation and too small to be detected in Voyager pictures. We consider the possible physical and geological structure of such bodies and how they influence interactions among ring particles in general.
