Scientific paper

Five major eccentric features in the rings of Saturn are studied. These are the outer A and B ring edges at 1.95 and 2.27 R(subs) and three narrow ringlets at 1.29, 1.45, and 1.95 R(sub). Data acquired by four Voyager experiments-imaging Science (SS), Radio Science (RSS), Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS), and Photopolarimeter (PPS) were used in this investigation. The discovery of a periodic variation in spoke activity in Saturn's rings from the analysis of Voyager images is reported. A Fourier power spectrum was computed using a data set generated by quantifying spoke activity observed on the morning (western) half of the rings in Voyager images spanning approximately 12 Saturn rotations and in Voyager 2 images spanning approximately 90 Saturn rotations.
