Scientific paper

During both Voyager encounters with the saturnian system, the Planetary Radio Astronomy experiment detected strong discrete episodic bursts of radio emission, termed Saturn electrostatic discharges (SED). An examination of Voyager 2 photopolarimeter data now reveals a narrow feature (possibly a gap) in Saturn's B ring. A single, unique object appears to be responsible for both the SED and this feature.
