Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) Observations of Titan 2004--2017
Conor A. Nixon, Todd M. Ansty, Nicholas A. Lombardo +16
From 2004 to 2017, the Cassini spacecraft orbited Saturn, completing 127 close flybys of its largest moon, Titan. Cassini's Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS), one of 12 instru…
Occultation observations of Saturn's rings with Cassini VIMS
P. D. Nicholson, T. Ansty, M. M. Hedman +9
We describe the prediction, design, execution and calibration of stellar and solar occultation observations of Saturn's rings by the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS)…
Detection of Propene in Titan's Stratosphere
Conor A. Nixon, Donald E. Jennings, Bruno Bezard +9
The Voyager 1 flyby of Titan in 1980 gave a first glimpse of the chemical complexity of Titan's atmosphere, detecting many new molecules with the infrared spectrometer (IRIS). Thes…
Upper limits for undetected trace species in the stratosphere of Titan
Conor A. Nixon, Richard K. Achterberg, Nicholas A. Teanby +15
In this paper we describe a first quantitative search for several molecules in Titan's stratosphere in Cassini CIRS infrared spectra. These are: ammonia (NH3), methanol (CH3OH), fo…
Titan's Prolific Propane: The Cassini CIRS Perspective
C. A. Nixon, D. E. Jennings, J. -M. Flaud +7
In this paper we select large spectral averages of data from the Cassini Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) obtained in limb-viewing mode at low latitudes (30S--30N), greatly i…
