SPEARS Seminar: The strange magnetism of Saturn and its magnetospheric dynamics
Professor David Southwood, Imperial College London
Tuesday 12 June 2012, 1400-1500
Lecture Theatre, Charles Carter Building (A15)
Spacecraft had flown past Saturn three times before Cassini arrived in orbit in 2004. The results from the Cassini mission concerning magnetospheric science alone show not only how limited was our understanding of the system from the flybys and previous remote sensing but also provide a picture of a planetary magnetosphere and magnetic field that had confounded any prior prediction.
