Extreme densities in Titan's ionosphere during the T85 magnetosheath encounter

We present Cassini Langmuir probe measurements of the highest electron number densities ever reported from the ionosphere of Titan. The measured density reached 4310 cm-3 during the T85 Titan flyby. This is at least 500 cm-3 higher than ever observed before and at least 50% above the average density...
