THE VARIABILITY OF HCN IN TITAN’S UPPER ATMOSPHERE AS IMPLIED BY THE CASSINI ION-NEUTRAL MASS SPECTROMETER MEASUREMENTS

HCN is an important constituent in Titan's upper atmosphere, serving as the main coolant in the local energy budget. In this study, we derive the HCN abundance at the altitude range of 960-1400 km, combining the Ion-Neutral Mass Spectrometer data acquired during a large number of Cassini flybys...
