We have solved a stationary Boltzmann transport equation to describe the ionosphere of Titan in two simple cases. The first one deals with the satellite being outside the Kronian magnetosphere on the dayside of Saturn, which happens under strong solar wind conditions. In that case, the main energy s
We have modeled the chemistry of hydrocarbon ions in the jovian ionosphere. We find that a layer of hydrocarbon ions is formed in the altitude range \(300-400 \mathrm{~km}\) above the ammonia cloud tops, due largely to direct ionization of hydrocarbons by photons in the wings of the \(\mathrm{H}_{2}
