The composition of Titan's stratosphere from Cassini/CIRS mid-infrared spectra (2007, background): “This is not, however, what Tobie et al. (2005, 2006) recently concluded.”
Tidal dissipation within large icy satellites: Applications to Europa and Titan (2005, unknown): “It provides a self-consistent way to compute the distribution of tidal heating within the interior as the temperature profile evolves and as the liquid layer crystallizes with time [see Tobie et al. (2005) for an application to Titan’s evolution].”
Subsurface oceans and deep interiors of medium-sized outer planet satellites and large trans-neptunian objects (2006, background): “Note that if the subsurface ocean is enriched in ammonia, the viscosity at the base of the ice-I layer is much higher than in the presence of a pure water layer because water–ammonia ocean temperatures are substantially lower (see also Sohl et al., 2003; Tobie et al., 2005).”
Cryovolcanism on Titan: New results from Cassini RADAR and VIMS (2013, background): “…on Titan (summarized by Lopes et al. [2007]) include the likely existence of a liquid layer in Titan’s interior, with some models placing it at 50–100 km depth [e.g., Stevenson, 1992; Grasset and Sotin, 1996; Grasset et al., 2000; Tobie et al., 2005, Mitri et al., 2008; Nimmo and Bills, 2010].”
The methane cycle on Titan (2008, background): “When constrained by the density of Titan, the equation of state of the relevant materials, and the available energy source”
Cryovolcanic features on Titan's surface as revealed by the Cassini Titan Radar Mapper (2007, background): “We turn instead to tidal heating, limited to 10% of the total heat flow by the requirement to avoid circularizing Titan’s orbit over geologic time (Tobie et al., 2005).”
