Scientific paper

In the present paper, it is suggested that the observation of cavities near Ganymede can be explained by a model which postulates that Ganymede continuously creates a cavity that is stretched out into a sheet along X by rotation and is spatially distorted by a spectrum of Alfven waves with perturbations along Y and with wavelengths comparable to the size of the field lines passing through Ganymede. Possible causes of the cavities are examined.
