Investigating tidal stripping of a pre-existing moon as the origin of Saturn's young icy rings
SPH simulations show that ice can be preferentially stripped from a differentiated moon during close encounters with Saturn to produce rings matching the observed mass and composition, if the closest approach lies between the ice and rock Roche limits.
