Scientific paper

We have studied the center-to-limb behavior of Titan's stratosphere in the near-IR using spectro-imagery obtained with the Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrometer (NIFS) at Gemini North Observatory on February 2, 7, and 8, 2006 (UT). We have also constructed synthetic spectra using a radiative transfer program employing spherical geometry. Both the synthetic and the observed spectra show an enhancement of the scattering albedo of stratospheric haze near the east and west limbs of Titan. We have also investigated far-IR Cassini/CIRS spectra in order to compare longitudinal or local time variations of the stratospheric haze with those appearing the near-IR images. Preliminary results will be presented.
