- Description:
- The new observations of planetary rings, including those acquired during the encounters of Voyager with Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus and the discovery of incomplete rings around Neptune, reveal the great importance of resonances in determining the dynamics and the shape of planetary rings. Several types of resonances play a part in planetary rings. Current questions of interest are related to the nonlinear theory of density waves, the confinement of the Uranian rings, and the arcs of rings around Neptune.
