Well, it's self-promotional but I have an Icarus paper that just came out online. You can either download it http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6WGF-4M645DK-5&_user=10&_handle=V-WA-A-W-DU-MsSAYVA-UUW-U-AAZVDWDUCE-AAZWBUDYCE-WBEAZVEV-DU-U&_fmt=summary&_coverDate=10%2F24%2F2006&_rdoc=11&_orig=browse&_srch=%23toc%236821%239999%23999999999%2399999!&_cdi=6821&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=1689bddbb7523522c898c67c8e7484d7 or http://c3po.barnesos.net/publications/papers/Titan.spectral.diversity.pdf, if you don't have access otherwise. Thought this crew might be interested.

Jason,

Nice maps!

A question: What is the Jackson et al. in preparation paper about? And how does that support the Rannou et al. predictions? I'm interested in Titan's polar collar. It seems to be there at 70 degrees latitude just after equinox for Voyager 2 (north) and Keck and Hubble (south). I don't think Rannou et al. talk about this feature. Or is it a different collar, at 40 degrees latitude as your paper seems to suggest?
Interesting...
Thanks!

Self-promotional?!

This crew member says over and over "Thank you Mr. Jason Barnes"!

"Huygens landed on dark blue terrain (Rodriguez et al., 2006,
called “unit 1” therein)."

Looks like my http://www.marsroverblog.com/discuss-22245-titan-observer.html on the days after the landing weren't that far from reality...

Thanks Jason... that's a nice gesture for the people here who don't have access to journals. I wish other researchers would do this sort of thing more often.

Your apology for being "self-promotional" made me smile. That's academia talking... and it should stay that way.

Thank you! As an extremely casual observer of Cassini, I now have a much greater appreciation for the capabilities of VIMS.
