Scientific paper

We derive an approximate, analytic expression for the self-gravity of Uranian elliptical rings at any point in the N-streamline formalism (N -> ∞), and numerically evaluate by a Monte Carlo calculation, the correction factor γ that corrects for the approximations used in the derivation. We confirm that the 2-streamline (N = 2) model overestimates the mass of the ring: for the ɛ, α, βrings, the mass given by the N-streamline model (N -> ∞) is only 2/5 that by the 2-streamline model.
