Scientific paper

The interaction of superthermal electrons, including both magnetospheric electrons and photoelectrons, with the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Titan, is studied using a two stream electron transport code. Ionization rates, electron heating rates, and airglow emission rates are calculated. Results of a one dimensional model of the ionosphere of Titan, which includes both photoionization and ionization by magnetospheric electrons, are presented. Preliminary calculations of ionospheric ion outflow down the wake (or tail) of Titan, for time periods when the wake region is illuminated by the Sun, are made.
