Is a Rikitake Dynamo in Saturn's Interior at the Origin of the Variability of the Radio Rotation Periods?
Galopeau, P. H. M.
Recent observations performed by the radio and plasma wave science (RPWS) experiment on board the Cassini spacecraft have revealed the presence of two distinct and variable spin modulation periods (10.6 hours and 10.8 hours) in Saturn's radio emissions emanating from the northern and southern hemispheres respectively. The main time modulation of p…
AKR Sources Positions - Interball 2 vs CLUSTER Observations
Panchenko, M.; Schreiber, R.; Hanasz, J.
Interball-2 (Auroral Probe) Polrad triaxial spectropolarimeter was used to determine positions of AKR source footprints on the auroral oval. Our findings are consistent with AKR beams narrowly confined to a plane tangent to the source magnetic latitude circle and containing the local magnetic field vector, in agreement with Mutel et al. [2008]. Ou…
