As on Earth, Titan's atmosphere plays a major role in the cooling of heated surfaces. We have assessed the mechanisms by which Titan's atmosphere, dominantly N 2 at a surface pressure of 1.5 Â 10 5 Pa, cools a warm or heated surface. These heated areas can be caused by impacts generating melt sheets

We propose a quasigeostrophic, baroclinic model for heat transport within the interior of a stably stratified Jovian planet, based on motion in thin cylindrical annuli. Density decreases from the center outward and is zero at the surface of the planet. In the homogeneous case (no core), we find inst

HNC is a major product of the dissociative recombination reaction of the important ionospheric ion HCNH + , although to date this neutral has not been identified within Titan's atmosphere, nor considered as a component in ionospheric or photochemical models. We have studied a simple pseudo-steady-st

We present 'empirical' models (pressure vs. density) of Saturn's interior constrained by the gravitational coefficients J 2 , J 4 , and J 6 for different assumed rotation rates of the planet. The empirical pressuredensity profile is interpreted in terms of a hydrogen and helium physical equation of
