20. The dayside of the magnetopause is approximately ellipsoidal, but this is not the case in the tail, which is nearly circular in cross section. To accurately approximate the shape of the magnetopause, the tailward half of an ellipsoid is replaced with a cylinder; thus, the boundary is a composite surface composed of a hemi-ellipsoid and a cylinder. The join between these two surfaces is at the semi-minor axis of the prolate ellipsoid (nose portion).

24. The KSM (Kronocentric Solar Magnetospheric) coordinate system has Saturn at the origin, with the +X axis directed toward the Sun; Z defined such that Saturn's rotation and magnetic axis lies in the XZ plane (with +2 pointing close to northward), and Y lying in Saturn's rotational and magnetic equatorial plane.
