- 2009, Robert Brown, Jean Pierre Lebreton, Jack Waite, Titan from Cassini-Huygens, →ISBN, page 459:
- The original plan in the primary mission to look for the existence of an internal liquid layer called for four flybys to measure the Love number k2: two equatorial passes -- one when Titan was at perikrone and one at apokrone, and two inclined passes – also at perikrone and apokrone.
- 2010, Tilman Spohn, Planets and Moons: Treatise on Geophysics, →ISBN, page 531:
- In order to obtain the value of k2 with high accuracy, four flybys of the Cassini spacecraft will be devoted to measuring Titan's gravity field near both apokrone and perikrone (Castillo et al., 2002).
