So much to reply to (no, it isn't driving me to distraction - far from it) - but only a few minutes available. On no ridge rings on Pluto or Charon - I agree, unfortunately, but there's always an outside chance since we don't really know their histories. Anyhow Pluto will get one when Charon disintigrates.
On the intimate details of ring emplacement - very good, I'm almost buying it. However I don't think the basic thesis would be under serious threat even if your details turn out to be wrong. I'm going to go away and extend my d cubed times m over M table to some more objects, like Ceres and the moons of Uranus. Will post anything interesting I find. |
