@article{Dunaeva2016PhysicochemicalMO, title={Physico-chemical models of the internal structure of partially differentiated Titan}, author={A. N. Dunaeva and V. A. Kronrod and Oleg L. Kuskov}, journal={Geochemistry International}, year={2016}, volume={54}, pages={27-47} }
We analyze models of the internal structure of Titan, a large icy satellite of the Saturn system. Calculations are carried out using information on the mass, mean density, moment of inertia, orbital parameters, and elastic properties of the satellite obtained by the Cassini–Huygens mission, as well as geochemical data on the composition of chondrite materials, equations of state of water and ices I, III, V, VI, and VII, and thermodynamic models for conductive heat transfer in the outer icy…
