Source mechanism of Saturn narrowband emission

Cecconi, B.; Menietti, J. D.; Rymer, A. M. +2 more

Narrowband emission (NB) is observed at Saturn centered near 5 kHz and 20 kHz and harmonics. This emission appears similar in many ways to Jovian kilometric narrowband emission observed at higher frequencies, and therefore may have a similar source mechanism. Source regions of NB near 20 kHz are believed to be located near density gradients in the…

The influence of Titan on Saturn kilometric radiation

Cecconi, B.; Ye, S. -Y.; Menietti, J. D. +1 more

Previous studies have shown that the occurrence probability of Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR) appears to be influenced by the local time of Titan. Using a more extensive set of data than the original study, we confirm the correlation of higher occurrence probability of SKR when Titan is located near local midnight. In addition, the direction fi…
