Cravens,Wayne Kasprzak,Greg Miller,Jan-Erik Wahlund,K. Ågren,Niklas J. T. Edberg,Alan N. Heays,Brenton Lewis,Stephen Gibson,V. De La Haye,Mao-Chang Liang +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, an optimized method for converting raw data measured by the Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) to ion densities is presented. But the method is limited to the altitude region (∼1100-1400 km) where ion drift velocities are low and the mass of the ions is within the measurement range of the INMS.

The 12C/13C Ratio on Titan from Cassini INMS Measurements and Implications for the Evolution of Methane
Kathleen Mandt,Kathleen Mandt,J. Hunter Waite,B. D. Teolis,Brian Magee,Jared Bell,Joseph Westlake,Conor A. Nixon,Olivier Mousis,Jonathan I. Lunine +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors re-evaluated the Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) 12 C/13 C ratios in the upper atmosphere of Titan based on new calibration sensitivities and an improved model for the NH3 background in the 13 CH4 mass channel.
Journal ArticleDOI
EUVE Observations of Jupiter During the Impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9.
TL;DR: The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) satellite conducted extensive observations of the jovian system before, during, and after the impact of the fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994, finding transient brightenings in the neutral helium (He I) resonance line.

Volatile Origin and Cycles: Nitrogen and Methane
TL;DR: The story of Titan's two most abundant volatile constituents, nitrogen and methane, is intertwined in this paper, and the role of methane in regulating Titan's climate is noted, and similarities and differences between the methane cycle in Titan's troposphere and the hydrological cycle on Earth are discussed.
