Scientific paper

We report on work to develop an atlas of satellite mean motion resonance locations and strengths within the rings of Saturn. Using the full literal expansion of the disturbing function, we identify locations of 1st, 2nd and selected 3rd order resonances. We show representative portions of the preliminary atlas in this paper. Our atlas allows for resonance splitting and includes weaker resonances than in the only previously available atlas (Lissauer & Cuzzi, 1982). Consequently, the new atlas will contain a substantially larger set of mean motion resonance locations within the rings. Our results are in good agreement with those of Lissauer & Cuzzi although a few resonance locations differ by a few to several kilometers. When completed, the atlas will be available through the PDS Rings Node, http://pds-rings.seti.org/.
