Models proposed to explain the dynamical confinement of such structures as incomplete arc rings in orbit about the planet Neptune are reviewed and tested against the currently available observational data. It is shown that satellites can confine arc rings to very limited radial and azimuthal extents via a combination of corotation and Lindblad resonances. The resonances can be produced by the same moon or by different moons.
