magnetic field and Titan

Sam, you're a good source of detailed info. I think you're accurate on the
OP's handle too. It doesn't seem very polite to ask a question then pick a
flame with the person who gives an answer just because you don't like the
answer. (However, to be the devil's advocate I had difficulty interpretting
the page you linked to also...)

Is there a magnetic field around Titan?

See: http://www-ssc.igpp.ucla.edu/Cassini/flyby_plots.html

this doesn't answer my question. A simple yes, no or "they still
don't know" will do nicely thankyou.

We don't know yet--so a yes or no would be misleading. The first
link I posted gave an estimate of what Cassini might find. I can
see that "disgruntled" is a predictive handle.

Although no Titan magnetic field was detected in previous fly-bys, the JPL
folks are expecting to detect a slight magnetic field... but the point is
we don't know yet, but we are about to find out in the next four years. :-)

It would be interesting to discover how much more sensitive the
instrumentation would have to be compared to, say, a common hiker's magnetic
compass...

You could have just said that the first time. Again, who is "we"? As
opposed to "they". You speak as if you are one of the Cassini
scientists.

But his was no answer at all. Oddly enough, lurkers like you appear
out of no where.
