Abstract
Cassini UVIS interplanetary hydrogen Lyα measurements from 2003 to 2004, obtained from a heliospheric downwind to sidewind location on approach to Saturn and during the first Saturn orbit, are presented and fit by a heliospheric hot density model with solar illumination. Adding the recently proposed 43 ± 3 Rayleigh (R) isotropic galactic hydrogen Lyα signal derived from New Horizons data improves our model’s ability to fit the observed Cassini “27 day” signal modulations from both upwind and downwind directions. Our modeling of the UVIS data favors a galactic Lyα background of ∼40–100R over a model with no significant galactic background.
