The specific Cassini magnetosphere scientific objectives related
to the study of wave-particle interactions and dynamics within
Saturn's magnetosphere are to:
Investigate wave-particle interactions and the generation
of electrostatic and electromagnetic emmisions.
Establish the relative contributions to electromagnetic and
mechanical stress balance in the magnetosphere.
Investigate the interaction of the Saturn's magnetosphere
with the solar wind and solar-wind driven dynamics within the
magnetosphere.
Study the microphysics of the bow shock and magnetosheath.
Investigate rotationally driven dynamics, plasma input from
the satellites and rings, and radial transport and angular momentum
of the magnetospheric plasma.
Investigate the interaction of the magnetosphere with the
satellites and rings.
Investigate magnetotail structure, dynamics, and substorm
activity.
Study reconnection signatures in the magnetopause and tail.
Investigate diffusion of plasma from the magnetosphere.
