Scientific paper

Whistler mode chorus has been detected by the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument during most of Cassini's first 21 orbits of Saturn. The emission is detected primarily between L shells of 5 to 8 and the occurrence of the emission shows no correlation with Saturn latitude or local time. High resolution wideband measurements from the Wideband Receiver (WBR) shows fine structure in the chorus similar to fine structure of chorus observed at the Earth, but on a longer time scale. Wave normal and Poynting vector analysis using the simultaneous waveforms of the two-axis electric antenna and the three-axis magnetic search coil obtained by the RPWS Five-Channel Waveform Receiver (WFR) has been performed on the chorus emission. This analysis shows that the chorus propagates away from the Saturnian magnetic equator, similar to chorus propagation at the Earth, suggesting a source region near the magnetic equator. The variation of the wave normal angle with location of the spacecraft will be presented.
