Production and fate of the G ring arc particles due to Aegaeon (Saturn LIII)

TL;DR: The G ring arc hosts the smallest satellite of Saturn, Aegaeon, observed with a set of images sent by Cassini spacecraft as discussed by the authors, which is responsible for depleting the arc dust population by removing them through collisions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamical environment and surface characteristics of asteroid (16) Psyche

TL;DR: In this paper, the location and linear stability of the equilibrium points were found and the stability of these points were confirmed by performing numerical simulations of massless particles around the asteroid, which also showed an asymmetry in the size of the stable regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Refined physical parameters for Chariklo's body and rings from stellar occultations observed between 2013 and 2020

B. E. Morgado, +96 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used stellar occultations to constrain the physical parameters of the Centaur and its rings, and determined the structure of the rings and obtained precise astrometrical positions of Chariklo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rings under close encounters with the giant planets: Chariklo versus Chiron

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed numerical integrations of a system composed of 729 clones of Chiron, the Sun, and the giant planets and found that Chiron is more likely to remain in an orbit with a relatively low inclination and high eccentricity.
