Instead of computing a grid of magnetic field lines in advance, we use a dichotomic algorithm to obtain the intersection of each direction of arrival with the correponding iso-fc surface, on its visible side as seen from Cassini. If there is no intersection, we determine the line which is perpendicular to the direction of arrival and which passes through the center of Saturn. The "intersection point" is then the intersection between the iso-fc surface and that latter line. We also store the distance between the direction of arrival and the iso-fc surface, measured on that line. Once the "intersection point" is determined, we follow he magnetic field line down to the surface of Saturn (top of the ionosphere) to find the foot print position of that field line, using the MFL_FOOT(V30) routine.
we use iso-fc and not iso-fx as the locus of SKR emission regions.
