All Jovian planets have rings.  We are most familiar with the bright,
spectacular rings of Saturn, but the other Jovian planets have rings
systems around them.  This lecture describes the different ring systems
and their properties, and discusses their origin, formation, and the
gravitational interactions - resonances, perturbations, and shepherd
moons - that govern their evolution.  Recorded 2007 Nov 21 in 1000
McPherson Lab on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
