Abstract:
Observations of the occultation of the star SAO 158763 by Saturn's magnetospheric region around 19 Saturn radii on May 12, 1984 are compared with the observations by Mahra et al. (1985) of the same event. Certain disparities between the Naini Tal and Kavalur data suggest that the extinction signatures are likely to be caused by irregular density enhancements of ions, charged dust grains, or gas.
