Titan occultation CL1 VIO data
Titan's Haze layer transparency between 450-380 km.
Plot of normalized integrated density during occultation of Alpha Eridani by Titan's haze layers during a Cassini flyby on May 5, 2009.
Images were stacked, coordinated, and leveled and a backround subtracted. Integrated density of Alpha Eridani's image was measured using the Photohop measure too. The measurments were normalized to the initial integrated density and plotted relative to estimated altitude assuming the inner edge of the detached haze layer is located at 490 km.
