Resumen:
Cassini's successful orbit insertion has provided the first examination
of Saturn's magnetosphere in 23 years, revealing a dynamic plasma and
magnetic environment on short and long time scales. There has been no
noticeable change in the internal magnetic field, either in its strength
or its near-alignment with the rotation axis. However, the external
magnetic field is different compared with past spacecraft observations.
The current sheet within the magnetosphere is thinner and more extended,
and we observed small diamagnetic cavities and ion cyclotron waves of
types that were not reported before.
