Gravitoelectrodynamics in Saturn’s F ring: encounters with Prometheus and Pandora
The dynamics of Saturn’s F ring have been a matter of curiosity ever since Voyagers 1 and 2 sent back pictures of the ring’s unusual features. Some of these images showed three distinct ringlets with the outer two displaying a kinked and braided appearance. Many models have been proposed to explain the braiding seen in these images; most of these invoke perturbations caused by the shepherding m...
متن کاملGravitational Vortices And Clump Formation In Saturn's F ring During An Encounter With Prometheus
Saturn rings are most beautiful and dynamic places in the solar system, consisting of ice particles in a constant battle between the gravitational forces of Saturn and its many moons. Fan, spiral, propellers, moonlets and streamer-channels observed by CASSINI in the F-ring have been attributed to encounters by Prometheus on the F ring, with investigations of optical thickness revealing large po...
متن کاملAppearance of Saturn’s F ring azimuthal channels for the anti-alignment configuration between the ring and Prometheus
In this article we explore the aspect of the F ring with respect to the antialignment configuration between the ring and Prometheus. We focus our attention on the shape of the F ring’s azimuthal channels which were first reported by Porco et al. (2005) and numerically explored by Murray et al. (2005), who found excellent agreement between Cassini’s ISS reprojected images and their numerical mod...
متن کاملDissipative ring solitons with vorticity.
We study dissipative ring solitons with vorticity in the frame of the (2+1)-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. In dissipative media, radially symmetric ring structures with any vorticity m can be stable in a finite range of parameters. Beyond the region of stability, the solitons lose the radial symmetry but may remain stable, keeping the same value of the topological c...
متن کاملGraphene with geometrically induced vorticity.
At half filling, the electronic structure of graphene can be modeled by a pair of free two-dimensional Dirac fermions. We explicitly demonstrate that in the presence of a geometrically induced gauge field an everywhere-real Kekulé modulation of the hopping matrix elements can correspond to a nonreal Higgs field with nontrivial vorticity. This provides a natural setting for fractionally charged ...
