Dynamic auroral storms on Saturn as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope
, Geophysical Research Letters, Vol: 41, Pages: 3323-3330, ISSN: 1944-8007We present observations of significant dynamics within two UV auroral storms observedon Saturn using the Hubble Space Telescope in April/May 2013. Specifically, we discuss bursts of auroralemission observed at the poleward boundary of a solar wind-induced auroral storm, propagating at ∼330%rigid corotation from near ∼01 h LT toward ∼08 h LT. We suggest that these are indicative of ongoing, burstyreconnection of lobe flux in the magnetotail, providing strong evidence that Saturn’s auroral storms arecaused by large-scale flux closure. We also discuss the later evolution of a similar storm and show that theemission maps to the trailing region of an energetic neutral atom enhancement. We thus identify the auroralform with the upward field-aligned continuity currents flowing into the associated partial ring current.

Saturn's dayside ultraviolet auroras: Evidence for morphological dependence on the direction of the upstream interplanetary magnetic field
, Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Vol: 119, Pages: 1994-2008, ISSN: 2169-9402We examine a unique data set from seven Hubble Space Telescope (HST) “visits” that imagedSaturn’s northern dayside ultraviolet emissions exhibiting usual circumpolar “auroral oval” morphologies,during which Cassini measured the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) upstream of Saturn’s bow shock overintervals of several hours. The auroras generally consist of a dawn arc extending toward noon centered near~15° colatitude, together with intermittent patchy forms at ~10° colatitude and poleward thereof, locatedbetween noon and dusk. The dawn arc is a persistent feature, but exhibits variations in position, width, andintensity, which have no clear relationship with the concurrent IMF. However, the patchy postnoon aurorasare found to relate to the (suitably lagged and averaged) IMF Bz, being present during all four visits withpositive Bz and absent during all three visits with negative Bz. The most continuous such forms occur in thecase of strongest positive Bz. These results suggest that the postnoon forms are associated with reconnectionand open flux production at Saturn’s magnetopause, related to the similarly interpreted bifurcated auroral arcstructures previously observed in this local time sector in Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph data,whose details remain unresolved in these HST images. One of the intervals with negative IMF Bz howeverexhibits a prenoon patch of very high latitude emission extending poleward of the dawn arc to the magnetic/spin pole, suggestive of the occurrence of lobe reconnection. Overall, these data provide evidence ofsignificant IMF dependence in the morphology of Saturn’s dayside auroras.

Cusp observation at Saturn's high-latitude magnetosphere by the Cassini spacecraft
, Geophysical Research Letters, Vol: 41, Pages: 1382-1388, ISSN: 1944-8007We report on the first analysis of magnetospheric cusp observations at Saturn by multiple insitu instruments onboard the Cassini spacecraft. Using this we infer the process of reconnection wasoccurring at Saturn’s magnetopause. This agrees with remote observations that showed the associatedauroral signatures of reconnection. Cassini crossed the northern cusp around noon local time along apoleward trajectory. The spacecraft observed ion energy-latitude dispersions—a characteristic signature ofthe terrestrial cusp. This ion dispersion is “stepped,” which shows that the reconnection is pulsed. The ionenergy-pitch angle dispersions suggest that the field-aligned distance from the cusp to the reconnectionsite varies between ∼27 and 51 RS. An intensification of lower frequencies of the Saturn kilometricradiation emissions suggests the prior arrival of a solar wind shock front, compressing the magnetosphereand providing more favorable conditions for magnetopause reconnection.

Near-magnetic-field scaling for verification of spacecraft equipment
, Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, Vol: 2, Pages: 249-255, ISSN: 2193-0864Magnetic-field measurements are essential tothe success of many scientific space missions. Outside ofthe earth’s magnetic field the biggest potential source ofmagnetic-field contamination of these measurements is emittedby the spacecraft. Spacecraft magnetic cleanliness is enforcedthrough the application of strict ground verificationrequirements for spacecraft equipment and instruments. Dueto increasingly strict AC magnetic-field requirements, manyspacecraft units cannot be verified on the ground using existingtechniques. These measurements must instead be takenclose to the equipment under test (EUT) and then extrapolated.A traditional dipole power law of −3 (with a fieldfall-off proportional to r−3) cannot be applied at these closedistances without risk of underestimating the field emitted bythe EUT, but we demonstrate that a power law of −2 is tooconservative. We propose a compromise that uses a powerlaw of −2 up to a distance equal to 3 times the unit size, beyondwhich a dipole power law can be applied. When extrapolatingfrom a distance of 0.20 m to 1.00 m from the centre ofa 0.20 m wide EUT, we demonstrate that this method avoidsan under prediction of the field, and is at least twice as accurateas performing the extrapolation with a fixed power lawof −2.
