Ejecta clouds from meteoroid impacts on Saturn's rings: Constraints on the orbital elements and size of the projectiles
Published in AGU Fall Meeting Abstracts
Debris clouds, providing direct evidence for meteoritic ring erosion, were observed for the first time in Cassini images of Saturn s rings (Tiscareno et al., Science (2013), 340, 460). One feature was observed in two images taken about 24 hours apart, allowing to constrain the time evolution of the cloud. The details of the time evolution suggest t...
