Moons embedded within a ring can carve out a gap proportional to their Hill radius.
“Secondly, moons embedded within the ring can carve out a gap proportional to their Hill radius.”
From A Self-Gravitating Exoring Around J1407b and Implications for In-Situ Exomoon Formation (2022) · cites this paper as Hedman et al., 2013
Section 2 (p. 3) says Pan’s gravity perturbs particles in the Encke Gap and that its Hill radius sets the scale of the illustrated orbital structures. It does not establish that the width of a gap carved by an embedded moon is proportional to its Hill radius; the cited estimate for the chaotic zone has a different mass scaling. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
