Scientific paper

Saturn will have a conjunction with the Crab nebula on January 5,2003, which is a very rare event since Saturn passes about 1' away from the pulsar. We propose to observe this spectacular phenomenon with Chandra so that we can apply the X- ray absorption technique to the Saturnian system. There are three bodies involv ed in this conjunction: Saturn, its rings and its satellite, Titan. We will be able to measure the absorption feature of atmospheres of the main body of Saturn and Titan. We can also measure the X-ray reduction ratio at the ring that show s the filling factor within the ring.
