Scientific paper
Fluctuations in field strength and particle flux observed during the outbound pass of Voyager 2 through the Saturnian magnetosphere are discussed. The observations of injections of energetic electrons and ions, associated plasma wave activity, and magnetic field perturbations are described. These data imply the existence of an acceleration or heating site some distance from the Voyager 2. A correlation between impulsive injections of 0.35-2 MeV electrons, increase in the hot ion flux of 28-215 KeV, a dip in magnetic field magnitude, and a signal from the plasma wave instrument in the 562 Hz channel was detected. An explanation of these observations is provided.
