Scientific paper

Observations were made of Titan with InSb photometers using standard J (1.25 micron), H (1.6 micron), and K (2.2 micron) filters over a 70 day interval with 0.61 m, 2.2 m, and 4 m telescopes. A beam-switching, sky-subtract mode was used with all telescopes, and evidence appears for variation at approximately the 3 sigma level of confidence. There is some indication that, if periodic, the variation may have a period twice that of the satellite's orbital period.
