Scientific paper
In a recent paper, Sittler et al.(2010) presented new results on the T9 encounter by the Cassini spacecraft when it passed through Titan’s induced magnetotail. They reported possible detection of NH4+ ions, as well as the detection of CH5+ and C2H5+ ions. In this report we investigate both the medium mass resolution (straight through (ST))and high mass resolution (linear electric field (LEF))composition data from the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) Ion Mass Spectrometer (IMS). We will present a more in depth analysis of the composition data and make comparisons with ionospheric models including nitrogen chemistry such as that by Vuitton et al. (2007).
