Abstract
⺠Using Cassini data, we observe an escape plume in the tail region of Titan consisting of high density ionospheric plasma. ⺠The escape plume appears quasi-steady in both space and time. ⺠The escape is suggested to be caused by ambipolar diffusion, magnetic moment pumping and/or dispersive Alfvén waves.
