Planetary Ring Systems

Klappentext
This book is a thorough and engaging presentation of the key concepts in planetary ring science informed by the latest research findings.

Zusammenfassung
Understanding of planetary rings continues to grow thanks to ongoing space missions, but few books reconcile this new knowledge. Ideal for graduate students and researchers, this volume explains the basic concepts and draws on exciting new findings to consolidate understanding across the field.
