Default Does Titan have a magnetic field?



Haven't heard any mention of Titan having
its own magnetic field, now that Cassini flew
past it twice so far.

Does Titan ever exit Saturn's magnetosphere? Like
when it's right in front of Saturn (like at "new
moon" phase as seen from Saturn?).

Voyager 1 found none; if there is one, it's very weak. I expect Cassini
has a better magnetometer, but I haven't heard any results. Data ****ysis
for the particles-and-fields instruments can take a while.


If memory serves, yes, Titan can be outside Saturn's magnetosphere at
times.
