Dynamical studies of Saturn's rings.
Abstract
Several investigations of Saturn's rings employing data from three Voyager experiments are discussed. These investigations concentrated on the regularily organized C ring. A search for eccentric or inclined features, a photometric study of regions of different optical depth, an analysis of wavelike structures at three locations, and a study of the size distribution of meter-sized particles are dicussed.
