Inside the Roche Division
Atlas and Prometheus both orbit inside the Roche Division between the A and F rings. Atlas is quite close to the A ring, while Prometheus is so close to the F ring that it perturbs it, pulling material out in waves as it passes.

As always, see the Cassini web site for details.
