Abstract
► We assess the electron density in Titan's dayside ionosphere using a model driven by Cassini data. ► We obtain a factor of about 2 higher densities than observed by the Langmuir probe. ► We discuss possible reasons for the discrepancy found. ► Dissociative recombination is probably not the only important electron loss process.
