This would be a really nifty discovery even if I wasn't friends with both Mamajek and Kenworthy:

Preprint is at http://arxiv.org/pdf/1501.05652v1.pdf for those who want more rigor than a press release can provide.

That's really neat. My husband specializes in near-Earth asteroids, but I'm pretty sure one of his colleagues specializes in Saturn's rings. I'm sure she must find this fascinating too!
