Scientific paper

The distribution of particle sizes in Saturn's rings is probably continuous over many orders of magnitude; there is no 'typical particle size'. A model based on this view accounts for a number of observed properties of the rings: apparent thickness, radar and radio observations, number and size distribution of the gaps discovered by Voyager 1, and optical thickness.
