Abstract

Existence of the magnetic field of Saturn and the temperature around 70 - 100 K nearby of it bring us to the idea of diamagnetism and superconductivity of the rings particles. The rings could emerge from the icy particles moving on chaotic orbits around Saturn within protoplanetary cloud. After appearance of the magnetic field of Saturn all chaotic orbits of icy particles start to shift to the magnetic equator plane, where there is a minimum of the particles magnetic energy, due to diamagnetic force of expulsion like Meissner phenomenon. Each particle comes to the stable position preventing its own horizontal and vertical shift. Particles are locked within three-dimensional magnetic well due to Abrikosov quantum vortex phenomenon for superconductor. This mechanism is valid and it works even particles have a small fraction of superconductor. Final picture is similar to the picture of iron particles forms the same shape around a magnet on laboratory table. Any other phenomena like gravity resonances, dusty plasma and others may bring some peculiarities to the final picture of the rings. It follows that magnetic field of Saturn and low temperature around of it are the main reason for the rings origin and the rings is product of the early time of the magnetic field of Saturn appearance. Additional matter to the rings also may come from the frozen water particles generated from the Saturn sputniks geysers due to magnetic coupling between planet and satellites. The data of Cassini mission to Saturn rings are conforming suggested theory of their origin and existence.

Summary

Introduction

NASA had made four missions to Saturn: Pioneer, Voyager-1 and -2 and outstanding Cassini (2004-2017). Cassini found no iron in the rings and to support gravity defragmentation theory NASA scientists decided to use Titan-sized icy satellite [3]. This theory could not be considered as entirely completed. Even 7% of a glassy carbon superconductor composition of Saturn rings particles which is located within 93% of diamagnetic frozen water ice may contribute to their behavior like a type II superconductor. It is well known fact the Meissner effect is observed in type II superconductors even for sufficiently weak magnetic fields. To demonstrate how rings particles disk appeared due to diamagnetism and superconductivity of the iced particles we will follow our consideration presented in [10]-[25]
