Scientific paper

The composition of Titan's complex neutral atmosphere above 1000 km as observed by the Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer on recent flybys of Titan are presented. A rich mixture of hydrocarbons and nitriles are found with mixing ratios that vary from 10-4 to 10-7: acetylene, ethylene, ethane, benzene, toluene, cyanogen, propyne, propene, propane, and various nitriles. The calibration and mass deconvolution processes are presented in order to establish clear boundaries on the systematic errors that can occur in the mass deconvolution process. The role of ion neutral chemistry in forming these compounds will also be discussed.
