Particle-In-Cell Simulations of the Cassini Spacecraft's Interaction with Saturn's Ionosphere during the Grand Finale
Zeqi Zhang, Ravindra T. Desai, Yohei Miyake +2
A surprising and unexpected phenomenon observed during Cassini's Grand Finale was the spacecraft charging to positive potentials in Saturn's ionosphere. Here, the ionospheric plasm…
Spatial variations of low mass negative ions in Titan's upper atmosphere
Teodora Mihailescu, Ravindra Desai, Oleg Shebanits +5
Observations with Cassini's Electron Spectrometer discovered negative ions in Titan's ionosphere, at altitudes between 1400 and 950 km. Within the broad mass distribution extending…
Enceladus and Titan: Emerging Worlds of the Solar System (ESA Voyage 2050 White Paper)
Ali Sulaiman, Nicholas Achilleos, Sushil Atreya +20
Some of the major discoveries of the recent Cassini-Huygens mission have put Titan and Enceladus firmly on the Solar System map. The mission has revolutionised our view of Solar Sy…
Titan's variable ionosphere during the T118-T119 Cassini flybys
N. J. T. Edberg, E. Vigren, D. Snowden +6
A significant difference in Titan's ionospheric electron density is observed between the T118 and T119 Cassini nightside flybys. These flybys had similar geometry, occurred at the…
Carbon chain anions and the growth of complex organic molecules in Titan's ionosphere
R. T. Desai, A. J. Coates, A. Wellbrock +12
Cassini discovered a plethora of neutral and ionised molecules in Titan's ionosphere including, surprisingly, anions and negatively charged molecules extending up to 13,800 u/q. In…
