IMF dependence of the open-closed field line boundary in Saturn’s ionosphere, and its relation to the UV auroral oval observed by the Hubble Space Telescope

We study the dependence of Saturn's magnetospheric magnetic field structure on the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), together with the corresponding variations of the open-closed field line boundary in the ionosphere. Specifically we investigate the interval from 8 to 30 January 2004, when U...
