Scientific paper

During January 2004 a campaign to study the influence of changes in the upstream solar wind on Saturn's aurora were carried out using data from the Cassini fields and particles instruments and images from the STIS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Initial investigation of these images reveals a considerably dynamic auroral oval, with the promise of some clear correspondences with upstream Cassini data that will provide unique insight into Saturn's magnetospheric dynamics. The results will also provide impetus to interpretation of in situ field and plasma data once we arrive in Saturn orbit.
