- This was led by Andrew Coates' PhD student Ravi Desai. Coates defined the project based on his discovery and work on heavy anions in Titan’s ionosphere, via analysis of Cassini CAPS electron spectrometer (ELS) data. Coates had led the ELS team since 1989. This was one of Cassini's top discoveries, highlighted by NASA(1) and ESA(2), and this paper made a UCL(3) and ESA(4) press release. Coates helped develop the work, contributed expertise and ideas to analysis, guided and assisted Ravi, helped write the paper, defined and refined analysis techniques, helped with proof reading, and provided access to the data.
