Lecture 41: Planetary Rings

All Jovian planets have rings. We are most familiar with the bright, spectacular rings of Saturn, but the other Jovian planets have rings systems around them. This lecture describes the different ring systems and their properties, and discusses their origin, formation, and the physics - resonances and shepherd moons - that govern their evolution. Recorded 2006 Nov 22 in 100 Stillman Hall on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
