| Title: | Detection and Behavior of Pan Wakes in Saturn's A Ring |
| Authors: | Horn, L. J.

| Issue Date: | 1996 |
| Abstract: | Six previously unseen Pan wakes are found interior and exterior to the Encke gap in Saturn's A ring, one in the Voyager 2 photopolarimeter (PPS) stellar occultation data and five in the Voyager 1 radio science (RSS) Earth occultation data. Pan orbits at the center of the Encke gap and maintains it...The detection of Pan wakes at longitudes greater than 360° demonstrates that wakes persist for much longer than originally hypothesized and may interact with one another. |
