A statistical analysis of the location and width of Saturn's southern auroras
Badman, S. V.; Cowley, S. W. H.; Gérard, J. -C. +1 more
A selection of twenty-two Hubble Space Telescope images of Saturn's ultraviolet auroras obtained during 1997-2004 has been analysed to determine the median location and width of the auroral oval, and their variability. Limitations of coverage restrict the analysis to the southern hemisphere, and to local times from the post-midnight sector to just…
Study of whistler mode instability in Saturn's magnetosphere
Singhal, R. P.; Tripathi, A. K.
A dispersion relation for parallel propagating whistler mode waves has been applied to the magnetosphere of Saturn and comparisons have been made with the observations made by Voyager and Cassini. The effect of hot (suprathermal) electron-density, temperature, temperature anisotropy, and the spectral index parameter, κ, on the temporal growth rate…
