Seasonal changes in the middle atmosphere of Titan from Cassini/CIRS observations: temperature and trace species abundance profiles from 2004 to 2017
Christophe Mathé, Sandrine Vinatier, Bruno Bézard +6
The Cassini/Composite InfraRed Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument has been observing the middle atmosphere of Titan over almost half a Saturnian year. We used the CIRS dataset processe…
On the H abundance and ortho-to-para ratio in Titan's troposphere
Bruno Bézard, Sandrine Vinatier
We have analyzed spectra recorded between 50 and 650 cm by the Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) aboard the Cassini spacecraft at low and high emission angles to determ…
Detection of Propadiene on Titan
Nicholas A Lombardo, Conor A Nixon, Thomas K Greathouse +8
The atmosphere of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is rich in organic molecules, and it has been suggested that the moon may serve as an analog for the pre-biotic Earth due to it…
Science goals and mission concepts for a future orbital and in situ exploration of Titan
Sébastien Rodriguez, Sandrine Vinatier, Daniel Cordier +27
In this white paper, we present a cross-section of important scientific questions that remain partially or completely unanswered, ranging from Titan exosphere to the deep interior,…
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…
An intense thermospheric jet on Titan
E. Lellouch, M. A. Gurwell, R. Moreno +7
Winds in Titan's lower and middle atmosphere have been determined by a variety of techniques, including direct measurements from the Huygens Probe over 0-150 km, Doppler shifts of…
