Saturn's magnetic tail - Structure and dynamics

Abstract

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.
