We conducted numerical simulations of 3,830 massless test particles in the Saturn system near the 7: 6 corotation eccentricity resonance (CER) with Mimas, in response to the recent observations of an arc in the faint and dusty G Ring (see Hedman et al, this conference). We simulated 80 years of evolution, taking into account the perturbations of Sa...

Using images taken by the Cassini spacecraft, we have identified a longitudinally confined arc of material located at the G ring's inner edge that is roughly five times brighter than other parts of the G ring. Images taken over the last two years show that the orbital mean motion of the arc is 445.475 +/- 0.007 degrees/day, corresponding to a semi-...
