REVISE TITAN AURIC forward SOLAR DRIVEN Model :
N2 Density scaled to de la haye 950km (2007), shape( fulchignoni et al (2005)
Solar XUV Irradiance (see-LEAN ET AL., 2010) [FLUX 6<vi]
CH4 (Shemansky et al., 2005)
N2 Carroll-Yoshino c4′—X system (Stevens, 2001 v’=0;Ajello et al., 1989;1989;2010),b-X(James et al., 1990)b’-X(Ajello, 2010)

9. DARK SIDE OBSERVATION OF TITAN ON 25MARCH2008

13. Energy Input to Titan: Solar XUV, Magnetosphere Plamsa ion, Electron Precipitation (Sittler et al., 2009; Hartle et al., 2006 estimates 1015ergs/s keV O+-ions)
-Solar UV causes day-side ionosphere out to SZA 100deg
-nightside ionosphere formed by plasma transport , variable SW pressure –titan can be inside/outisde magnetosphere

25. SUMMARY OF 2007-2009 ECLIPSE, LIMB, BRIGHT DISK AND DARK DISK UVIS OBSERVATIONS OF TITAN
Solar Driven processes on Dayside
N2 EUV (12R) /FUV (200R) Airglow structure similar to Earth for 22June2009 limb observation
Dark Side-Solar Scattering to 120 deg SZA (function of angle between co-rotation and Sun-Titan direction RAM
Dark Side Intensities = 0.5 Dayside on 25march2008 is T?
Observed an eclipse of 7august2009
- No FUV molecular emissions (VK or LBH)
- c4’(0,1), c4’(2,3; 3,4) EUV emissions
-NII 1085A, NI1200 A emissions
-UV eclipse spectra are weak compared to non-eclipse observations (25march08; 22june2009; 8may 2008)
