Scarf, F.L. (1979). Possible traversals of jupiter’s distant magnetic tail by Voyager and by Satern. Journal of Geophysical Research 84: doi: 10.1029/JA084iA08p04422. issn: 0148-0227.

It is shown that in the spring and summer of 1981, Voyager 2 and Saturn will both cross the expected region of the tail of wake about 7000--8000 RJ downstream from Jupiter. If Jupiter's tail is well defined at this distance, Sturn's magnetopause may vary significantly as saturn moves across the tail.
