2.2.6 spase://CDPP/NumericalData/AMDA/Ephemerides/mimas-orb-all Mimas 2017-10-14T11:46:29Z A number of features in Saturn's rings are related to resonances with Mimas. Mimas is responsible for clearing the material from the Cassini Division, the gap between Saturn's two widest rings, the A Ring and B Ring. Particles in the Huygens Gap at the inner edge of the Cassini division are in a 2:1 resonance with Mimas. They orbit twice for each orbit of Mimas. The repeated pulls by Mimas on the Cassini division particles, always in the same direction in space, force them into new orbits outside the gap. The boundary between the C and B ring is in a 3:1 resonance with Mimas. Recently, the G Ring was found to be in a 7:6 co-rotation eccentricity resonance[clarification needed] with Mimas; the ring's inner edge is about 15,000 km (9,300 mi) inside Mimas's orbit. Mimas is also in a 2:1 mean-motion resonance with the larger moon Tethys, and in a 2:3 resonance with the outer F Ring shepherd moonlet, Pandora. spase://CDPP/Person/NAIF PrincipalInvestigator sat-moons-orb PartOf Saturn Moons spase://SMWG/Repository/CDPP/AMDA Online Open http://amda.cdpp.eu Text.ASCII SPICE spase://CDPP/Instrument/AMDA/Ephemerides Ephemeris 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z 2023-03-23T23:19:59Z PT20M Saturn Saturn.Mimas distance mimas-saturn mim_sat_r Rs TimeSeries Positional xyz_ksm mim_sat_ksm Rs Cartesian KSM TimeSeries 3 x 1 mim_sat_ksm(0) y 2 mim_sat_ksm(1) z 3 mim_sat_ksm(2) Positional xyz_kso mim_sat_kso Rs Cartesian KSO TimeSeries 3 x 1 mim_sat_kso(0) y 2 mim_sat_kso(1) z 3 mim_sat_kso(2) Positional xyz_IAU_saturn mim_sat_xyz Rs Cartesian IAU_Saturn TimeSeries 3 x 1 mim_sat_xyz(0) y 2 mim_sat_xyz(1) z 3 mim_sat_xyz(2) Positional latitude IAU_saturn mim_sat_lat deg Positional longitude IAU_saturn mim_sat_lon deg Positional
