Scientific paper

The present optical-property calculations for aggregate particles allow most of the photometric and polarimetric observations for the Titan atmosphere to be explainable in terms of aggregate particles, whose mean projected area equals that of an 0.14-micron radius sphere; these would contain monomers of near-0.06-micron radius. Such aggregate particles may further account for the observed optical properties of Jupiter's high-altitude haze, and could ultimately furnish an essential constraint on the Titan's coupled surface/atmosphere evolution.
