Scientific paper

Observations of OH in Saturn's magnetosphere have been combined with a Monte Carlo model of neutrals sputtered from Saturn's satellites and rings. We have found that a large source of water near Enceladus is required to match the observations. Other consequences of this model are that most of the neutrals are molecular and that the neutral cloud has a large latitudinal extent. Since the neutrals are the plasma source, the composition of the plasma is altered from earlier results. We show the density and composition of the neutral gas near Saturn and use this gas as a source for a model of plasma chemistry and transport. We then derive contours of the density of each ion which are consistent with the neutral cloud.
