Scientific paper

A report by Kaiser and Desch (1985) indicates that nonthermal radio emissions from Uranus were not detectable from the Voyager spacecraft at a range of less than 0.7 AU. This observation suggests that the planet may have significantly different magnetospheric characteristics than Jupiter and Saturn. The ratio of atomic to molecular emission in the hydrogenic atmospheres of the outer planets varies over a wide range depending on the nature of the exciting process and the altitude of the sources. The importance of the ratio of atomic to molecular emission is discussed along with the escape of atomic hydrogen. On the basis of an evaluation of the observations, the possibility is raised that the strong EUV radiation from Uranus may not be auroral in origin.
