Abstract

Although Voyager 1 was not equipped for the detection of X-rays and neutral particles, its low energy charged particle detector (LECP) records suggest a significant flux of these radiations. X-rays could be due to substantial precipitating electron fluxes in the auroral region or the rings whereas energetic neutrals could be due to charge-exchange between trapped ions and Saturn's neutral hydrogen disk.
