Abstract: Abstract Isotopic ratios have long been used to learn about physical processes acting over a wide range of geological environments, and in constraining the origin and/or evolution of planetary bodies. We report the spectroscopic detection… read more here.

Abstract: The precipitation of dusty material via unstable orbits onto Saturn from the ring plane is a phenomenon known as ring rain. A key open question for Saturn’s rings is whether silicates and organics rain out… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsta.2018.0046
Abstract: Spiral waves propagating in Saturn's rings have wavelengths that vary with radial position within the disc. The best-quality observations of these waves have the form of radial profiles centred on a particular azimuth. In that… read more here.

DOI: 10.12677/aas.2017.54005
Abstract: “共旋”弦理论是用物理方法探索爱因斯坦曾经追寻的引力与电磁力相统一的基础理论。在运用“简弦量”'物理方法推导“共旋”弦理论公式过程中，发现大自然赋予所有运动物质具有“自我复制”功能。认为引力波和电磁波(光波)均是星球'自转运动'的“自我复制”功能所致，土星和组成光环的碎冰块均由电偶极子组成，“共旋”弦理论在解释土星光环的形成机制的同时，也说明“共旋”弦理论得到大自然的验证。 “Resonance” string theory is a basic theory, which Albert Einstein once pursued, to explore the uni-ty of gravitation and electromagnetic force by using physical method. In the process of deducing the formulas of “Resonance”… read more here.
