Scientific paper

Desch and Kaiser have formulated a radiometric Bode's law from which they have attempted to estimate the low frequency, nonthermal radio power of Uranus' magnetosphere likely to be measured by the Voyager 2 spacecraft as a function of the planet's magnetic moment and the solar wind power input. The author shows that, if Uranus possesses a magnetosphere, it is more likely that the radio emission is from the nightside as opposed to the dayside as assumed by Desch and Kaiser. A nightside source for the radio emissions would radically alter the predicted time for first observations of the emissions.
