The Surface Age of Titan
Introduction: Since its arrival at the Saturnian system, the Cassini spacecraft has made about 100 Titan flybys. The surface of Titan has been revealed almost globally by the Cassini observations in the infrared and regionally to about 25% in radar wavelengths [1,2,3] as well as locally by the Huygens optical instruments [4]. Extended dune fields, lakes, distinct landscapes of volcanic and tect...
متن کاملMagnetospheric and Plasma Science with Cassini-huygens
Magnetospheric and plasma science studies at Saturn offer a unique opportunity to explore in-depth two types of magnetospheres. These are an ‘induced’ magnetosphere generated by the interaction of Titan with the surrounding plasma flow and Saturn’s ‘intrinsic’ magnetosphere, the magnetic cavity Saturn’s planetary magnetic field creates inside the solar wind flow. These two objects will be explo...
متن کاملThe effect of increasing the multiplicity of flow fields contact surface on the performance of PEM fuel cell
In this paper, three innovative 3-D geometries for flow fields of cathode and anode have been developed to investigate the comparative impact of increasing the multiplicity of the involved anode-cathode channel surface contact on the efficiency of electrochemical reaction via the same membrane electrode assembly (MEA) active area. In the introduced new models, each anode channel includes two, t...
متن کاملResurfacing of Titan by Ammonia-water Cryomagma
Figure 1. Large flow imaged by the Titan Radar Mapper using the SAR mode during the Ta fly-by on October 26, 2004. The image covers an area about 150 km, centered at about 45 N, 30 W. The radar illumination is from the south. Note that the southern edges of the flow are brighter, consistent with the structure being raised above the relatively featureless darker background. This is one of severa...
متن کاملDune Widths in Titan’s Belet Sand Sea Reveal Patterns in Dune Formation and Stability
Introduction: Eolian dune fields found within Ti-tan's equatorial region between +30° latitude cover approximately 15-17% of the moon's surface [1]. These dominantly linear dunes are similar in form, size, and radar reflectivity to the large dunes of the Namib, Saharan, Saudi Arabian, and Australian deserts [2][3]. Earth analog studies indicate that the presence of linear dunes suggests adequat...
