ABSTRACT:
Experimental data observation of the Saturn rings points to the
conjecture that the particles constituting the rings may be superconductive.
The main argument for this based on the fact that Saturn has a magnetic field
and the temperature in its vicinity is low enough. Electromagnetic modeling
shows the rings system emerges some time after appearance of the planetary
magnetic field. Rings can be a result of the interaction of the superconducting
carbon doped ice particles of the protoplanetary cloud with the nonuniform
magnetic field. At the beginning all Keplerian orbits of the particles are
located within protoplanetary cloud. After appearance of the magnetic field of
Saturn, all iced particles demonstrate superconductivity
and their orbits start to move to the magnetic equator plane where there is a
minimum of magnetic energy. And then particles redistributed like iron
particles nearby magnet on laboratory table forming system of rings and gaps.
But rings particles are not stuck together
because of Meissner phenomenon. The gravitational resonances and other
interactions also play an important role and they help bring the order to the
system of rings and gaps. It becomes to be clear why the rings appear only for
the planets with magnetic field outside the asteroid belt such as Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Inside the asteroid belt Sun’s heat is destroying superconductivity.
Scenario of the rings creation for all planets could be the same. So we are
coming to the unified theory of the rings origin. The presented model allows
enriching the well-known theories that treat
gravitational, mechanical, gas-plasma, dusty plasma and magnetohydrodynamic
interactions in a consistent way.
