Voyager UVS observations of stellar occultations by the rings of Saturn

During the Voyager 1 and 2 Saturn encounters the ultraviolet spectrometers observed 3 separate stellar occultations by Saturn's rings. The observations, which sampled the optical depth of the rings at resolutions from 3 to 6 km, were used to establish a highly accurate distance scale allowing the identification of numerous ring features associated with resonances due to exterior satellites. Three separate observations of an eccentric ringlet near the location of the Titan apsidal resonance are discussed along with other ringlet-resonance associations occurring in the C ring. Density waves occurring in the A and B rings are reviewed and the analysis of one of these features is discussed.
