Abstract

Discoveries made by Voyager 2 in 1986 led to the conclusion that Uranus possesses the most extreme magnetosphere within the Solar System. Reanalysis of this dataset suggests that the extreme observations made by Voyager 2 could have been caused by anomalously intense upstream solar wind conditions.
