Scientific paper

Two very different source locations, polar and equatorial, have been suggested in the literature for the smooth low frequency emission from Uranus, detected by the Voyager 2 Planetary Radio Astronomy experiment. These possibilities are considered by studying the occultation of possible source regions by the planet with respect to the spacecraft. It is shown that a polar source region over a limited range of magnetic longitude can be excluded, while a polar source distributed along all magnetic longitudes is compatible with visibility studies. However, comparison of observations with computed intensity contours, for polar and equatorial sources, definitely favors the equatorial source model.
