Scientific paper

This study presents an analysis of a new type of Saturnian radio emission observed between 3 and 50 kHz by Cassini’s RPWS instrument. These emissions comprise radio bursts which last for several minutes and exhibit a characteristic drift in the time-frequency spectrograms. Spectral features (such as frequency range, bandwidth, and drift rate) and the spatial distribution of observations are subject to statistical analysis. Furthermore, this study uses the goniopolarimetric (“direction-finding”) mode to study the polarization. We discuss the obtained results in the context of possible source mechanisms and correlations between the radio bursts and the moons in Saturn’s inner magnetosphere.
