Scientific paper

A numerical combination of test-particle calculation results with mass conservation requirements is presently used to ascertain the long-term radial density structure influence on planetary rings of moonlet or satellite gravity. Such primary and stable features of the density structure as dense planetary rings, 'ringlet' narrow rings, ethereal rings, and hyperfine structures within planetary rings, are noted to be produced by the modeling of the ring particles' multiple scattering by a moonlet; these features are in good agreement with Saturn and Uranus observations.
