Scientific paper

The Voyager 2 Photopolarimeter experiment has yielded the highest resolved data of Saturn's rings, exhibiting a wide variety of features. The B-ring region between 105,000 and 110,000 km from Saturn has been investigated. It has a high matter density and contains no significant features visible by eye. Analysis with statistical methods has led us to the detection of two significant events. These features are correlated with the inner 3:2 resonances of the F-ring shepherd satellites Pandora and Prometheus and may be evidence of large ring particles caught in the corotation resonances.
