A pole-to-pole map of hydrocarbons in Saturn's upper stratosphere and
mesosphere
We analyze data from the final two years of the Cassini mission to retrieve the distributions of methane, ethane, acetylene, ethylene, and benzene in Saturn's upper stratosphere and mesosphere from stellar occultations observed by the Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS), spanning pole-to-pole. These observations represent the first 2D snapshot with latitude …
