Recurrent energization of plasma in the midnight-to-dawn quadrant of Saturn's magnetosphere, and its relationship to auroral UV and radio emissions
Gurnett, D. A.; Dougherty, M. K.; Krimigis, S. M. +11 more
We demonstrate that under some magnetospheric conditions protons and oxygen ions are accelerated once per Saturn magnetosphere rotation, at a preferred local time between midnight and dawn. Although enhancements in energetic neutral atom (ENA) emission may in general occur at any local time and at any time in a Saturn rotation, those enhancements …
The distribution of atomic hydrogen and oxygen in the magnetosphere of Saturn
Melin, Henrik; Shemansky, Don E.; Liu, Xianming
The intensity of H Ly α1216A˚ ( 2P- 1S) and OI 1304A˚ ( 2p33s3S-2p4P) is mapped in the magnetosphere of Saturn using the ultraviolet imaging spectrograph (UVIS) [Esposito, L.W., Barth, C.A., Colwell, J.E., Lawrence, G.M., McClintock, W.E., Stewart, A.I.F., Keller, H.U., Korth, A., Lauche, H., …
