Surface current balance and thermoelectric whistler wings at airless astrophysical bodies: Cassini at Rhea

Sharp magnetic perturbations found by the Cassini spacecraft at the edge of the Rhea flux tube are consistent with field-aligned flux tube currents. The current system results from the difference of ion and electron gyroradii and the requirement to balance currents on the sharp Rhea surface. Differe...
