Energetic neutral atom imaging reveals nearly 11-year cycle of the ring current of Saturn

Abstract The drift motion of energetic charged particles can generate an azimuthal electric current around the planet known as the ring current, which regulates the field configuration of the magnetosphere. However, limited coverage of in-situ measurements makes it challenging to investigate the lon...
