Abstract
- The exact location of the arcs of Planet Neptune is influenced by the regular close interactions of the planet's arc with Satellite Galatea. The perturbation which changes the exact location of the arcs is caused by the gravitational field of the satellite. The effective mean motion of the arc is displaced by about 0.2 kilometers from its theoretically computed location.
