Pre-encounter distributions of Saturn's low frequency radio emission

Nature volume 292, pages 745–747 (1981)Cite this article

Abstract

An analysis of Voyager 1 pre-encounter data is presented in which one-month averages of flux density from Saturn are determined as functions of both central meridian longitude and frequency. Comparisons of corresponding distributions for two one-month intervals seven months apart yield information on their stability, and a redetermination of the magnetos-pheric rotation period.
