Aurora at the North Pole of Saturn as Seen by Cassini ISS
Abstract
Cassini ISS saw the visible aurora at Saturn for the first time. Brighter parts of the auroral circle are seen at latitude ~75 N. We will compare the brightness and structure of the aurora at several wavelengths, including the broadband clear filter, H-alpha (656 nm),Near-IR (825-925 nm), and UV (300-370 nm). We will discuss temporal variation of the aurora between several Cassini observations separated by months.
