Abstract

The distribution of energetic electrons on the auroral field lines in the magnetosphere of Uranus can develop large anisotropies and a large loss cone. These, in turn, can lead to large‐amplitude whistler waves and upper‐hybrid waves. Nonlinear currents caused by interaction between these waves can produce radio emissions that are in good agreement with the bursty Uranian kilometric radiation observed by Voyager 2.
