Field dipolarization in Saturn's magnetotail with planetward ion flows and energetic particle flow bursts: evidence of quasi-steady reconnection.

Field dipolarization in Saturn's magnetotail with planetward ion flows and energetic particle flow bursts: evidence of quasi-steady reconnection.

We present a case study of an event from August 20th (day 232) of 2006, when the Cassini spacecraft was sampling the region near 32 RS and 22 hours LT in Saturn's magnetotail. Cassini observed a strong northward-to-southward turning of the magnetic field, which is interpreted as the signature o...
