Effect of Intermittent Structures on Electron Heating in Saturn's Magnetosphere: Cassini Observations
Abstract In Saturn's magnetosphere, the plasma temperature increases with radial distance, requiring a heating mechanism to counteract the adiabatic cooling effect of expanding plasma. To explore potential heating source, we perform a statistical study about intermittent structures and intermit...
