Saturnian Low-Frequency Drifting Radio Bursts: Statistical Properties and Polarization

Gurnett, D. A.; Fischer, G.; Leisner, J. S. +2 more

After Cassini's arrival at planet Saturn, its Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) experiment has performed numerous observations of a new type of planetary radio emissions in the lower kHz frequency range (< 50 kHz). These bursty emissions have time scales of a few to 15 minutes and occur as slowly drifting events in the time-frequency spectro…
