Understanding our future through Open Access research about our past...

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the Centre for the Social History of Health & Healthcare (CSHHH), based within the School of Humanities, and considered Scotland's leading centre for the history of health and medicine.

Research at CSHHH explores the modern world since 1800 in locations as diverse as the UK, Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe. Areas of specialism include contraception and sexuality; family health and medical services; occupational health and medicine; disability; the history of psychiatry; conflict and warfare; and, drugs, pharmaceuticals and intoxicants.

Abstract

A theoretical prediction for the formation of dust-Alfvénic Mach cones in Saturn's rings is made. It is explicitly shown that for typical dusty plasma parameters corresponding to Saturn's dense rings, Mach cones are only formed by dust-Alfvén waves which are found to be more prominent than any other longitudinal waves (e.g., dust-acoustic waves). The dust-Alfvénic Mach cones that we have reported here are expected to be observed in Saturn's rings by CASSINI, arriving at Saturn in 2004.
