Forward modelling low-spectral-resolution Cassini/CIRS observations of Titan
Nixon, Conor A.; Irwin, Patrick G. J.; Teanby, Nicholas A. +1 more
The Composite InfraRed Spectrometer (CIRS) instrument onboard the Cassini spacecraft performed 8.4 million spectral observations of Titan at resolutions between 0.5-15.5 cm-1. More than 3 million of these were acquired at a low spectral resolution (SR) (13.5-15.5 cm-1), which have excellent spatial and temporal coverage in ad…
Electrical interferences observed in the Cassini CIRS spectrometer
Flasar, F. Michael; Gorius, Nicolas; Guandique, Ever +6 more
The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) carried onboard the Cassini spacecraft has now operated successfully for 17 years, following launch in 1997. Following insertion into Saturnian orbit in July 2004, the instrument has taken data nearly continuously, returning over 100 million interferograms (spectra) to date. Although of generally high qua…
