Description
Using Voyager 1 and 2 Planetary Radio Astronomy data and reasonable assumptions about radiation beam geometry, we deduce the source locations of both polarization components of the Saturn kilometer-wavelength radiation. The resulting radio source footprints are at high latitudes north and south, and near the noon meridian. These footprints are compared with the surface locations of Saturn's UV aurorae, polar cap boundary, and polar cusp
