Note—Rp is the planet’s mean physical radius in units of Saturn current mean radius Rℏ = 58 232 km. T is the spin period of the planet. async and aR are the position of the synchronous orbit and of the Roche limit, respectively, in units of the planet’s physical radius. Δί is the tidal lag. Md is the disk’s initial mass.
