Science Review: Saturn’s magnetic ring rain

S
Concept: Saturn’s magnetic ring rain.
  • Background: Rings made up of water ice, most of which can be described by Newtonian forces, but those small enough require an explanation of the Lorentz force. If they gain a high enough charge:mass, then they move along the magnetic field. Saturn’s field is unique as it is symmetric about its rotation axis.
  • Results: Water movement measured by H3+ proxy, in terms of its ion emissions. Describe the planet’s “ring rain”
