N-body simulations show tidal fragments form narrow circular equatorial rings around Saturn for low-to-moderate inclinations with radius set by vertical angular momentum conservation, while high inclinations cause most material to accrete onto the planet.

Ring formation around giant planets by tidal disruption of a single passing large Kuiper belt object II: The dynamical fate of tidal fragments
N-body simulations show tidal fragments form narrow circular equatorial rings around Saturn for low-to-moderate inclinations with radius set by vertical angular momentum conservation, while high inclinations cause most material to accrete onto the planet.
