Measurement and implications of Saturn's gravity field and ring mass
INTRODUCTION The interior structure of Saturn, the depth of its winds, and the mass and
age of its rings have been open questions in planetary science. The mass distribution inside …

Periodicities in Saturn's magnetosphere
JF Carbary, DG Mitchell - Reviews of Geophysics, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Although the exact rotation period of Saturn is unknown, Saturn's magnetosphere displays
an abundance of periodicities near~ 10.7 h. Such modulations appear in charged particles …

Composition and dynamics of plasma in Saturn's magnetosphere
During Cassini's initial orbit, we observed a dynamic magnetosphere composed primarily of
a complex mixture of water-derived atomic and molecular ions. We have identified four …
