Scientific paper

Different radio emissions observed by the Planetary Radio Astronomy (PRA) instrument during the inbound and outbound trajectories are reviewed. Two types of emissions (smooth and bursty) were recorded in the frequency range of 20 to 1300 kHz which differ in spectral, temporal, and polarization characteristics. The source location of the smooth radio emission have been determined through the observations at the closest approach when the radio source was occulted by the planet. Other types of emission detected by the PRA experiment include the fore shock of Neptune's magnetosphere and the impacts of dust at ring-crossings and different low frequency waves. It is concluded that there is at least one radio source in the auroral zone of the northern magnetic hemisphere where a good fit to the observations can be obtained when assuming an emission cone model.
