Reconnection in a rotation-dominated magnetosphere and its relation to Saturn's auroral dynamics (2005, background): “…to depend strongly on the concurrent direction of the IMF, with major ‘‘closure’’ events occurring during intervals of southward directed IMF when the existing auroral oval is relatively expanded, an effect known as ‘‘preconditioning’’ [e.g., Boudouridis et al., 2003, 2004; Meurant et al., 2004].”
Response of Jupiter's and Saturn's auroral activity to the solar wind (2009, background): “…for example, from a CME, can also be efficient at triggering the formation of a magnetic X line in the tail, and the arrival of such a solar wind pressure increase can result in flux closure and enhanced auroral activity [Brittnacher et al., 2000; Boudouridis et al., 2003; Meurant et al., 2004].”
