Abstract:

On June 12, 2007 the Cassini probe sent the images of a small moon of Saturn called Atlas which is located between the ring A and the small ring R/2004 S 1. These images have shown that the Atlas morphology is very different from other moons of similar dimensions. In the present article we propose a reasonable theory, to that we denominated "flying dune", that explains its morphologic characteristics from its magnitudes like mass, diameters and orbital radius, as well as its orbital position and the interpretation of the images caught by the Cassini probe.

Umm... the sheer number of typos and plain bad english put me off from reading it through, but the issue I find disturbing is it uses the raw image data that was not yet archived at the PDS. Very unfair to the imaging team. This classifies as an attempted "scoop".
