The major observational characteristics of the smooth, narrow bandwidth component of Uranus' radio emissions are well described by sources radiating near the local electron gyrofrequency, confined to the magnetic equatorial plane and encircling the planet at radial distances of approximately 2 to 3 RV. The most intense emission appears to be generated in association with the ϵ ring at 2.0 RU radial distance. We infer a cold electron density of ≤4 cm-3 in this region.
