Scientific paper

The VIMS mosaic obtained from the T69 Titan flyby overlaps and complements the radar images from 2007 with an excellent correlation between the numerous small lakes and mare. The location of the shoreline of Ligeia Mare in both data sets is similar and, therefore, suggests that the liquid filling is not changed significantly. The surface area is no more than 125,000 km2. VIMS observations also suggest a connection between Kraken and Ligeia Mares by either a well-defined rivers or a "swamp" area. The observations of distinct surface features, such as the small lakes, at different epochs can be used to constrain Titan's orbital parameters. An upper limit for the non-synchronous rotation between 2007 and 2010 of 2.3.10-4 °/day has been determined.
