Scientific paper
The paper deals with observations of anisotropies and pitch angle distributions for 0.5 to 1.8 MeV protons and 7 to 17 MeV electrons in Saturn's magnetosphere. In the outer magnetosphere (L = 6), there is clear evidence for corotation of the proton flux. The pitch-angle distribution shows maximum flux perpendicular to the magnetic field ('pancake' distribution). Observed changes in the amplitude and shape of the pitch angle distributions suggest the existence of substantial temporal variations in the outer magnetosphere. From L = 6 to L = 4, the proton intensity decreased by more than two orders of magnitude, while the pitch angle distribution shifted to a 'dumbbell' form (maximum flux parallel to magnetic field).
