Scientific paper

The encounter of Voyager 1 with Saturn in November 1980 revealed the ringlet structure of its rings. As the theoretical examination of the collisional evolution of Keplerian systems (Hameen-Anttila, 1978) had predicted such a structure in dense matter as a consequence of amplified fluctuations in density, some new computer simulations have now been carried out to check this effect. These simulations actually led to a strong, irreversible growth in the density maximum.
