FIGURE 2.7 Saturn’s Enceladus-dominated, rotating magnetosphere. (a) Saturnian kilometric radio (SKR) emission periodicities. (b) Enceladus, its geysers, resulting plasma, and connection to Saturn’s ionosphere. (c) Return of energized
plasma after tail plasmoid loss. These injections yield bright auroral displays in the same region as the SKR emissions.
