Cassini observations of flow-like features in western Tui Regio, Titan. Geophysical Research Letters 33: doi: 10.1029/2006GL026843. issn: 0094-8276.

A large (>3 ¿ 104 km2), lobate, 5-¿m-bright region seen by Cassini on Titan's leading equatorial region is best explained as a flow field. We discuss observations from the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer and Imaging Science Subsystem of the feature and present a map of the field. We establish relative ages of flow features and discuss possible formation mechanisms and the implications of this finding for the evolution of Titan's surface.
