Electron density and temperature measurements in the cold plasma environment of Titan: Implications for atmospheric escape

We present electron temperature and density measurements of Titan's cold ionospheric plasma from the Langmuir probe instrument on Cassini from 52 flybys. An expression of the density as a function of temperature is presented for altitudes below two Titan radii. The density falls off exponential...
