Saturn's magnetic tail: structure and dynamics

Voyager 1 magnetic field observations have provided evidence of a saturnian magnetic tail. Tail current system distributions are inferred through comparison of the observations with a realistic magnetotail current system model. Temporal variations observed in the tail were probably produced by solar...

Zusammenfassung:	Voyager 1 magnetic field observations have provided evidence of a saturnian magnetic tail. Tail current system distributions are inferred through comparison of the observations with a realistic magnetotail current system model. Temporal variations observed in the tail were probably produced by solar wind variations.
