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.
Multi-technique observations constrain the configuration of the ξ Tau system, detecting orbital oscillations on multiple timescales and suggesting component C is itself a binary.
Astronomical objects from asteroids to stars mostly follow a cohesive mass-density sequence reflecting gravitational contraction and nuclear ignition, while compact stellar remnants deviate from it.
