The Two-component Model of the 'spokes' in Saturn's Rings
The spokes are modeled as a two-component system of persistent diamagnetic pyrolytic carbon and transient diamagnetic ice grains whose visibility and dynamics are controlled by electromagnetic interactions with Saturn's magnetosphere and solar elevation.
