Electrostatic waves in the magnetosphere of Uranus

Abstract

Observations of electrostatic waves in the magnetosphere of Uranus are discussed with attention focused on the Bernstein emissions. The most intense Bernstein waves were observed near the magnetic equator of the planet, even though the tilt of the Uranian magnetic moment is very large relative to the rotational axis. In addition to the Bernstein modes, a number of highly sporadic emissions were detected in the vicinity of the Miranda L shell.
