Scientific paper

We present a new map of Titan's surface obtained in the spectral `window' at ~1.6 μm between strong methane absorption. This pre-Cassini view of Titan's surface was created from images obtained using adaptive optics on the W.M. Keck II telescope and is the highest resolution map yet made of Titan's surface. Numerous surface features down to the limits of the spatial resolution (~200-300 km) are apparent. No features are easily identifiable in terms of their geologic origin, although several are likely craters.
