Scientific paper

Topics on Saturn are discussed. The subjects addressed include: the microwave opacity at wavelengths of 3.6 and 13 cm and the particle size distributions in Saturn's rings from Voyager 1 radio occultations; W-shaped occultation signatures and an inference of entwined particle orbits in charged planetary ringlets; the evolution of spokes in Saturn's B ring; the ballistic transport process in collisional interactions of ring particles; and the formation of fine dust on Saturn's rings as suggested by the presence of spokes. Also considered are: Saturn's electrostatic discharges and lightning as their possible cause; thin-layer configurations for the zonal flow; the composition of the Saturnian stratosphere as determined with the IUE; optical properties of Saturn's atmosphere; internal gravity waves in Titan's atmosphere observed by Voyager radio occultation; Hyperion and the collisional disruption of a resonant satellite.
