TL;DR: The most recent Cassini RADAR images of Titan show widespread regions that appear to be seas of longitudinal dunes similar to those seen in the Namib desert on Earth, and the distribution and orientation of the dunes support a model of fluctuating surface winds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrocarbon lakes on Titan: Distribution and interaction with a porous regolith
Alexander G. Hayes,Oded Aharonson,Philip S. Callahan,Charles Elachi,Yonggyu Gim,Randolph L. Kirk,Kevin W. Lewis,Rosaly M. C. Lopes,Ralph D. Lorenz,Jonathan I. Lunine,K. L. Mitchell,Giuseppe Mitri,Ellen R. Stofan,S. D. Wall +13 more
TL;DR: Hayes et al. as discussed by the authors used Huygens probe observations to derive the timescales for flow into and out of observed lakes, similar to seasonal cycles, and compared the time between collocated SAR observations in order to considertheroleofsubsurfacetransportinTitan’shydrologic cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral reflectance properties of channels and mountain ranges on Titan using data from Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) obtained during the T9 encounter (26 December 2005).
Journal ArticleDOI
Titan’s surface at 2.18-cm wavelength imaged by the Cassini RADAR radiometer: Results and interpretations through the first ten years of observation
M. A. Janssen,A. Le Gall,Rosaly M. C. Lopes,Ralph D. Lorenz,Michael Malaska,Alexander G. Hayes,Catherine D. Neish,A. Solomonidou,K. L. Mitchell,Jani Radebaugh,Stephen Keihm,Mathieu Choukroun,C. Leyrat,Pierre Encrenaz,Marco Mastrogiuseppe +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive calibration and mapping of the thermal microwave emission from Titan's surface is reported based on radiometric data obtained at 2.18-cm wavelength by the passive radiometer included in the Cassini RADAR instrument.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional geomorphology and history of Titan's Xanadu province
Jani Radebaugh,Ralph D. Lorenz,S. D. Wall,R. L. Kirk,Charles A. Wood,Jonathan I. Lunine,Ellen R. Stofan,Rosaly M. C. Lopes,P. Valora,Tom G. Farr,Alexander G. Hayes,Bryan Stiles,Giuseppe Mitri,Howard A. Zebker,M. A. Janssen,Lauren Wye,A. Legall,K. L. Mitchell,Flora Paganelli,Richard West,E. L. Schaller +20 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest that Xanadu is one of the oldest terrains on Titan and that its origin and evolution have been controlled and shaped by compressional and extensional tectonism in the icy crust and ongoing erosion by methane rainfall.
