Scientific paper

The magnetosphere of Saturn, in contrast to that of Jupiter, is dominated by neutral atoms. The Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) has observed a very broad distribution of H, emanating from the planet itself. In addition, a toroidal oxygen distribution has been observed, centred around ±4 RS - a product of outgassing from Enceladus. The oxygen is seen extending out to ±10 RS and appears variable over relatively short time-scales. Here we present the short term behaviour of these distributions, and the result of recent observations of the oxygen and hydrogen distribution.
