| Abstract: | Classical resonance theory is extended to include corrections due to Saturn's oblateness. A single classical resonance splits into a band structure, with individual resonances almost evenly spaced in radius from the planet. When applied to Saturn's rings this theory predicts, in detail, the structure of Cassini's division. |
