Influence of electrophilic species on the lower ionosphere of Titan

Rodrigo, R.; López-Moreno, J. J.; Molina-Cuberos, G. J.

The galactic cosmic rays induced ionosphere of Titan is studied from 0 to 70 km. We resent here a new model developed for calculating the concentration of cations, anions, and electrons depending on the mixing ratio of electrophilic species present in the atmosphere of Titan. The existence of neutral species in which electrons can be attached by t…
