Nonlinear Density Waves in Planetary Rings
Abstract
We discuss the steady-state structure of the nonlinear density waves generated in a planetary ring at the Lindblad resonances of a satellite. We show that strong density waves lead to an enhancement of the background surface density in the wave zone.
