A brief review of ultraviolet auroral emissions on giant planets
D Grodent - Space Science Reviews, 2015 - Springer
The morphologies of the ultraviolet auroral emissions on the giant gas planets, Jupiter and
Saturn, have conveniently been described with combinations of a restricted number of basic …

Response of Jupiter's and Saturn's auroral activity to the solar wind
While the terrestrial aurorae are known to be driven primarily by the interaction of the Earth's
magnetosphere with the solar wind, there is considerable evidence that auroral emissions …

Driving Saturn's magnetospheric periodicities from the upper atmosphere/ionosphere
Saturn's magnetospheric structure and the intensity of radio frequency emissions from its
immediate surroundings are modulated at close to the planet's rotation period. Analogous …

Origin of Saturn's aurora: Simultaneous observations by Cassini and the Hubble Space Telescope
Outer planet auroras have been imaged for more than a decade, yet understanding their
physical origin requires simultaneous remote and in situ observations. The first such …
