Abstract
⺠Degree 4 and 5 axial magnetic moments for Saturn are derived for the first time. ⺠The first three odd degree axial moments share the same sign, which is unique to Saturn. ⺠The magnetic flux inside Saturn is strongly concentrated near the spin-poles. ⺠A mechanically driven dynamo shows intriguingly similar field properties as observed at Saturn.
