Physics

Scientific paper

In December 2002, the Hubble Space Telescope was used to image Titan in several filters from 0.22 to 2.2 microns. In addition, disk-resolved spectra of Titan's 0.6 to 1 micron methane bands were obtained. The north-south asymmetry is reversed from its state during the 1990s, as expected from previous images (Lorenz et al. 2001). Also seen are south-polar tropospheric clouds, similar to earlier reports (Brown et al. 2002, Roe et al. 2002). The most dramatic new feature is a stratospheric south-polar hood, which is dark in the violet like the north-polar hood observed by Voyager 1. Evidence that shows the polar hood is qualitatively different from the north-south asymmetry will be presented, and the nature of the polar hood will be discussed.
