Scientific paper

The instruments aboard the Cassini orbiter continue to provide a wealth of invaluable information on plasma interactions at the icy moons of Saturn. 1528 km-wide Rhea is the largest of Saturn's icy satellites. Here, we present our analysis of data from the two closest flybys of this moon to date, in November 2005 and August 2007. Data from six Cassini instruments are presented; MIMI, CAPS, MAG, RPWS, UVIS, and CDA, covering the plasma, neutral gas, and dust environments of the moon. The complementary information provided by these instruments allows us to draw a picture of this moon's intriguing interaction with Saturn's magnetospheric plasma. We compare the results at Rhea to those obtained at other moons, and we present our arguments for the causes of variations observed in the magnetospheric electron population.
