Scientific paper

We propose to use HRC-I and ACIS-S for 156 ksec to search for x-rays from the Saturnian system including Saturn, Titan and the rings, in coordination with in situ solar wind particle and field measurements from Cassini and the Hubble Space Telescope Far Ultraviolet auroral imaging. In view of the strong auroral activity on Saturn that has been shown to correlate with variations in the solar wind impinging upon Saturn's magentosphere, and the recent Jupiter observations with Chandra that may imply a role for the solar wind in x-ray production at Jupiter, we anticipate the production of observable x-rays from Saturn's auroral zones. These observations will be crucial in understanding the auroral physics at Saturn in the context of comparative planetary aurora.
