A reduced version can be seen on my site, at: http://www.donaldedavis.com/2005%20new/DRKRINGS.jpg Other saturn images are at: http://www.donaldedavis.com/2003NEW/NEWSTUFF/OUTERSS.html Don Davis

Postnikov [view email] Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2006 17:09:26 GMT (825kb) Analysis of Saturn main rings by continuous wavelet transform with the complex Morlet wavelet Authors: E.B. Postnikov, A. Loskutov Comments: 23 pages, 10 figures A new method based on continuous wavelet transform with the complex Morlet wavelet to analyze Saturn main rings is presented. It allows to investigate in detail the resonance zones and reveal the coexistence of waves with stable periods and the wave trains with a variable instant period. This method is based on the replacing the integration of the fast--oscillation function by the solution of the partial differential equations. It is shown that such an approach is an effective tool for the study the radial structure of Saturn's A, B, and C rings. All the analyzed images were obtained from the Cassini spacecraft during 2004--2005 years. http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0606123 -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined, and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
