Scientific paper

The gravitational field of the Saturnian system is calculated including contributions of the planet, the rings (with several models), satellites, and ring-planet coupling through tidal effects. Assuming a ring mass of 0.000001 of Saturn's mass, it is found that the gravitational moments of the rings may exceed those of Saturn, beginning at the eighth moment.
