Scientific paper

In 1992 the Ulysses spacecraft discovered periodic dust streams escaping from the Jovian system. In 2000, it was proposed that the escaping dust streams are not a particular feature of Jupiter, but dust particles are escaping from Saturn as well. In this work we applied an analytical model in order to analyze two possible and different sources: On the one hand the satellites: Dione, Helene, Rhea and Enceladus; on the second, the A-ring outer boundary. Additionally, some general properties of the dust particles that compose these Saturnian streams, such as their radii and escaping speeds are drawn.
