Abstract

Voyager 1 observations of Saturn's kilometric radio emissions reveal a strong but apparently transitory control by the orbital phase angle of Dione. This may be a geometrical effect and a time-variable plasma torus associated with Dione could explain most of the observed details of the Dione modulation by creating a shadow zone near the equatorial plane.
