Saturn's ring system exhibits remarkable complexity across multiple scales. From large-scale features like the Cassini Division and major ring groups (A, B, C) to fine-scale structures such as density waves, bending waves, and propeller features, each element provides clues about the dynamical processes at work.
Our analytical frameworks combine observational data with theoretical models to understand how gravitational perturbations from moons, self-gravity between particles, and collisional processes shape the observed ring architecture. The interplay between these forces creates a dynamic, evolving system that continues to surprise researchers.
