Orbital behaviour of particles within the ring systems of the investigated satellites. The horizontal axis signifies the initial semimajor axis a0 in terms of the satellite radii R0 for each constituent particle of the ring. The colour map illustrates the corresponding maximum orbital widening Δrp of each ring particle, expressed as a fraction of the initial ring width, upon the completion of the simulations.
