• Are American rivers Tokunaga self‐similar? New results on fluvial network topology and its climatic dependence (2013, background): “An outstanding example is the so-called asymmetric seasonality between Titan’s hemispheres hypothesized by Aharonson et al. [2009]. In particular the authors suggest that a difference in the satellite’s climate (wetter in the Northern hemisphere and drier in the Southern hemisphere) might be the cau”
• Transient surface liquid in Titan’s polar regions from Cassini (2011, background): “Aharonson et al. (2009) attributes this dichotomy to an a seasonal asymmetry in incident flux caused by Saturn’s eccentricity and Titan’s solar longitude of perihelion.”
• AN ESTIMATE OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF TITAN's LAKES (2009, background): “A longer-lived ethane-methane lake sampled at the summer pole might still have undergone pole-to-pole transport on timescales of tens of millenia thanks to the precession of perihelion of Saturn’s orbit around the Sun (Aharonson et al. 2009).”
