Scientific paper

Progress in the comparison of our model of the circumplanetary distribution of atomic hydrogen in the Saturn system with observations presented in Shemansky and Hall (1992) is discussed. It is shown that a Titan source cannot by itself account for the observed distribution. A combination of a source at Titan with strength 3 x 1027 H atoms/sec and a source at the orbit of Rhea or perhaps a distributed source inside of Rhea's orbit with a strength of 1.8 x 1028 H atoms/sec is in good agreement with the data presented with the data presented in Figure 10 of Shemansky and Hall.
