Titan'S Induced Magnetosphere, Saturn'S Magnetosphere, Titan

Scientific paper

Titan possesses an extensive atmosphere and ionosphere and no obvious significant intrinsic magnetic field. Its ionosphere directly interacts with the surrounding plasma environment, forming an induced magnetosphere. Titan was located in Saturn's outer magnetosphere at the time of the Voyager encounter, where that interaction is subsonic, superAlfvénic and submagnetosonic. We present results on Titan's induced magnetosphere from numerical simulations for the Voyager encounter scenario, for other locations around Titan's orbit, and for a case when Titan's orbit at 20 Saturn radii is outside the magnetosphere. The comparison of Titan's induced magnetosphere with other induced magnetospheres at Venus, Mars, and other planetary satellites is briefly considered.
