Abstract
⺠We study the structure and dynamics of dust within the Encke Gap in Saturn's rings. ⺠We track the distribution and motion of bright clumps in the Encke Gap ringlets. ⺠The clumps do not follow the expected trajectories of test-particles. ⺠The ringlets exhibit forced eccentricities induced by solar radiation pressure. ⺠The mean radial positions of the Encke Gap ringlets vary with co-rotating longitude.
