Scientific paper

We propose a coordinated observing campaign to study the X-ray emissions from the Saturnian system with XMM-Newton (4 observations of 39 ks each), while making in-situ particle and field measurements, and remote sensing observations at UV, visible and IR wavelengths, with Cassini. Our aim is to investigate the Chandra detection of strong variability in Saturn's X-ray emission from both the planetary disk and the auroral zones, and the faint X-ray emission from the rings. Probable candidates for the variability are solar wind, solar irradiation, and magnetospheric plasma. This unique coordinated campaign of XMM-Newton and Cassini observations will provide crucial data for understanding the physics of X-ray production at Saturn and its rings.
