Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Conor A. Nixon, Samuel Birch, Audrey Chatain +19
Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These includ…
A youthful Titan implied by improved impact simulations
Shigeru Wakita, Brandon C. Johnson, Jason M. Soderblom +1
The small number of impact craters found on Titan suggests that its surface is relatively young. Previous work estimated its surface age to be between 200 and 1000 Myr. This estima…
Impacts into Titan's methane-clathrate crust as a source of atmospheric methane
Shigeru Wakita, Brandon C. Johnson, Jason M. Soderblom +5
Titan is the only icy satellite in the solar system with a dense atmosphere. This atmosphere is composed primarily of nitrogen with a few percent methane, which supports an active,…
Modeling the formation of Selk impact crater on Titan: Implications for Dragonfly
Shigeru Wakita, Brandon C. Johnson, Jason M. Soderblom +3
Selk crater is an 80 km diameter impact crater on the Saturnian icy satellite, Titan. Melt pools associated with impact craters like Selk provide environments where liquid w…
Methane-saturated layers limit the observability of impact craters on Titan
Shigeru Wakita, Brandon C. Johnson, Jason M. Soderblom +2
As the only icy satellite with a thick atmosphere and liquids on its surface, Titan represents a unique end-member to study the impact cratering process. Unlike craters on other Sa…
Geomorphologic Mapping of Titan's Polar Terrains: Constraining Surface Processes and Landscape Evolution
Samuel Birch, Alexander Hayes, William Dietrich +18
We present a geomorphologic map of Titan's polar terrains. The map was generated from a combination of Cassini Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Imaging Science Subsystem imaging…
