    Ion neutral mass spectrometer results from the first flyby of Titan (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-05-14
    Description: The Cassini Ion Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) has obtained the first in situ composition measurements of the neutral densities of molecular nitrogen, methane, molecular hydrogen, argon, and a host of stable carbon-nitrile compounds in Titan's upper atmosphere. INMS in situ mass spectrometry has also provided evidence for atmospheric waves in the upper atmosphere and the first direct measurements of isotopes of nitrogen, carbon, and argon, which reveal interesting clues about the evolution of the atmosphere. The bulk composition and thermal structure of the moon's upper atmosphere do not appear to have changed considerably since the Voyager 1 flyby.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Waite, J Hunter Jr -- Niemann, Hasso -- Yelle, Roger V -- Kasprzak, Wayne T -- Cravens, Thomas E -- Luhmann, Janet G -- McNutt, Ralph L -- Ip, Wing-Huen -- Gell, David -- De La Haye, Virginie -- Muller-Wordag, Ingo -- Magee, Brian -- Borggren, Nathan -- Ledvina, Steve -- Fletcher, Greg -- Walter, Erin -- Miller, Ryan -- Scherer, Stefan -- Thorpe, Rob -- Xu, Jing -- Block, Bruce -- Arnett, Ken -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 May 13;308(5724):982-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2143, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15890873" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Cassini ion and neutral mass spectrometer: Enceladus plume composition and structure (2006)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-03-11
    Description: The Cassini spacecraft passed within 168.2 kilometers of the surface above the southern hemisphere at 19:55:22 universal time coordinated on 14 July 2005 during its closest approach to Enceladus. Before and after this time, a substantial atmospheric plume and coma were observed, detectable in the Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS) data set out to a distance of over 4000 kilometers from Enceladus. INMS data indicate that the atmospheric plume and coma are dominated by water, with significant amounts of carbon dioxide, an unidentified species with a mass-to-charge ratio of 28 daltons (either carbon monoxide or molecular nitrogen), and methane. Trace quantities (〈1%) of acetylene and propane also appear to be present. Ammonia is present at a level that does not exceed 0.5%. The radial and angular distributions of the gas density near the closest approach, as well as other independent evidence, suggest a significant contribution to the plume from a source centered near the south polar cap, as distinct from a separately measured more uniform and possibly global source observed on the outbound leg of the flyby.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Waite, J Hunter Jr -- Combi, Michael R -- Ip, Wing-Huen -- Cravens, Thomas E -- McNutt, Ralph L Jr -- Kasprzak, Wayne -- Yelle, Roger -- Luhmann, Janet -- Niemann, Hasso -- Gell, David -- Magee, Brian -- Fletcher, Greg -- Lunine, Jonathan -- Tseng, Wei-Ling -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Mar 10;311(5766):1419-22.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16527970" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
