Resumen:
We shall use magnetic field data from the Titan encounters TA,TB,T3,T8
at 10.6,10.5,10.3 and 9.3 Saturnian Local Time,respectively, and
theoretical results from the Advanced 3D-model by Backes et al.[2005]to
continue our investigation of the 3D-magnetic field in Titan's induced
magnetosphere.In this paper we shall study the draping boundary,which is
often seen as a relatively well defined 1.order discontinuity in the
magnetic field.Its cross-section is close to an ellipse with the
semimajor axis parallel to the initial magnetic field direction and a
displacement towards the dayside of Titan away from Saturn.Using flyby
T8 we shall try to follow its development forward to the bow of the
structure. A suitably defined dynamical draping coordinate system will
aid in the structural studies of the polarity reversal layer of the near
tail.
