Journal ArticleDOI
The thermal structure of Titan's atmosphere.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the most important factors controlling Titan's thermal structure are absorption of sunlight by the stratospheric haze and the pressure-induced gas opacity in the infrared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brent A. Archinal,Michael F. A'Hearn,Edward Bowell,Al Conrad,Guy J. Consolmagno,Régis Courtin,Tetsuya Fukushima,Daniel Hestroffer,J. L. Hilton,G. A. Krasinsky,Gregory A. Neumann,Juergen Oberst,P. K. Seidelmann,Philip J. Stooke,David J. Tholen,Peter C. Thomas,Iwan P. Williams +16 more
TL;DR: The IAU Working Group on Cartographic Coordinates and Rotational Elements (WGPSN) as mentioned in this paper takes into account the IAU working group for planetary system Nomenclature and the International Astronomical Union (IAUWCN) definition of dwarf planets, and introduces improved values for the pole and rotation rate of Mercury, returns the rotation rates of Jupiter to a previous value, and adds the equatorial radius of the Sun for comparison.

TL;DR: The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) is a remote-sensing Fourier transform spectrometer on the Cassini orbiter that measures thermal radiation over two decades in wavenumber, with a spectral resolution that can be set from 0.5 to 15.5 cm− 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical simulation of the general circulation of the atmosphere of Titan
TL;DR: Diagnostics of the simulated atmospheric circulation underlying the importance of the seasonal cycle and a tentative explanation for the creation and maintenance of the atmospheric superrotation based on a careful angular momentum budget are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The greenhouse and antigreenhouse effects on Titan.
TL;DR: There are many parallels between the atmospheric thermal structure of the Saturnian satellite Titan and the terrestrial greenhouse effect; these parallels provide a comparison for theories of the heat balance of Earth.
