Scientific paper

We use the Charge-Energy-Mass Spectrometer CHEMS of the Cassini/MIMI experiment to investigate the spatial and temporal variation of suprathermal (3-220 keV/e) C+1 and N+1 in relation to the locations of Saturn's moons and their orbits during Cassini's initial passes through Saturn's magnetosphere. The ions C+1 and N+1, possible tracers of a Titan plasma source, are observed far less often than the dominant heavy ion O+1 or the dominant light ion H+. We will discuss variations in the relative abundance of N+1 and C+1 compared to O+1 and the conditions under which they occur.
