Exact excerpt

A direct observable signature is auroral radio emission produced by the electron cyclotron maser instability, whose highest emitted frequency is set by the magnetic field strength at its source... We detect... emission at frequencies of 0.85 to 3.5 GHz. We identify the emission as electron cyclotron maser radiation, which implies a magnetic field of ≳1.25 kG at the planet.
