Scientific paper

A theoretical model of thermal ion and electron temperatures in Saturn's inner magnetospheres is presented which is based on a fast model of radial diffusive plasma transport. It is shown that the ion and electron temperatures and the latitudinal behavior of temperatures are consistent with the fast diffusion hypothesis, assuming that O(+) is the dominant ion and that its source is the Dione-Tethys plasma torus. The present results reinforce the conclusions of Barbosa (1990).
