Temperatures of Titan and the Galilean satellites at 20 microns.
Determination of the effective temperatures of the satellites by means of broad-band observations made at Mauna Kea in 1971. The temperatures of the Galilean satellites are in fair agreement with observations at shorter wavelengths and with theory. The 20-micron flux of Titan is nearly an order of magnitude lower than expected, suggesting either low surface emissivity or high atmospheric opacity between 18 and 25 micron. Hydrogen could produce the required opacity, but the abundance needed is large.
