The ‘braided’ F-ring of Saturn

The larger of the two satellites which bound the F-ring of Saturn could have only one first-order resonance within the ring. If such a resonance exists, then a wave pattern of equally spaced loops which co-rotate with the satellite will be excited. This pattern could account for the braided appearance of the ring.
