Solving the mystery of the electron radiation belt at Uranus: Leveraging Knowledge of Earth’s Radiation Belts in a re-examination of Voyager 2 Observations

Voyager 2 provided the only direct measurement of the radiation environment at Uranus and established the well-accepted characterization of a system with a weaker ion radiation belt and surprisingly intense electron radiation belt. Recent re-analysis
