Scientific paper

The flux emitted by Titan's disk in millimeter lines of HCN, HC3N, CH3CN, and CO is calculated by means of a radiative transfer formulation which takes into account the sphericity of the atmosphere. It is demonstrated that the plane-parallel approximation for radiative transfer is no longer valid, especially in the core of emission lines, when Titan is not spatially resolved. The observability of (1-0) and (2-1) transitions of CO, of (1-0), (2-1), and (3-2) transitions of HCN is investigated.
