The reconnection efficiency of the solar-wind-magnetized planet interaction depends on the conditions in the magnetized plasma flow passing the planet. When the reconnection efficiency is very low, the interplanetary magnetic field does not penetrate the magnetosphere. We study this issue for Saturn using Cassini magnetometer data, images of Saturn's aurora obtained by the HST, and the paraboloid model of Saturn's magnetospheric magnetic field. We conclude that the open model is preferable.
