Scientific paper
Simple models are presented for the spatial distribution of gases emitted by satellites in the outer solar system, with emphasis on Io and Titan. The models, valid for long-lived species in regions of space outside the gravitational zone of the parent satellite, are applied to observed hydrogen and sodium clouds orbiting Jupiter and to an expected hydrogen cloud around Saturn.
