We consider the question of the neutral gas and plasma population in the region of the Kronian magnetosphere, outside the plasma mantle and inside the magnetopause, dominated by the efflux of Titan's atmosphere. A model that has been used successfully to describe the inner magnetosphere is applied to this region under constraints derived from the Plasma Science (PLS) and Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) experiments on Voyager. We find that it is not possible to reconcile the results of these two experiments simultaneously with the values of the atomic and molecular source strengths of the atmosphere of Titan extant in the literature. The possible sources of the discrepancy are delineated. ¿American Geophysical Union 1990
