Scientific paper

An ionosphere is created at Titan due to photoionization, by solar radiation, or due to Saturn's magnetospheric electrons which interact with the atmosphere. We have modeled the ionosphere of Titan and will present calculated electron and ion densities. These densities depend on both solar zenith angle and altitude. In our model we use neutral densities measured in Titan's atmosphere by the Cassini Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS). We also use electron temperatures measured by the Cassini RPWS (Langmuir Probe) experiment. The resulting electron densities are compared with the electron densities seen by the RPWS and with ion densities measured by the INMS.
