Abstract
AbstractWhen Saturn’s oblateness perturbations are included, a single classical resonance splits into a resonance band structure. We have derived expressions for resonance location, libration region width, and the maximum librator range. We compare these predictions to areas of the C and B rings, the Cassini division, and the F ring, and offer some thoughts on possible mechanisms involved.
