Rohe Fluctus
What Rohe Fluctus is
Rohe Fluctus is a fluctus — a flow of erupted material — on Titan, 103 km across, centred at 47.3° N, 37.8° W. It is the 134th largest named feature on Titan and the 4th largest of its class there.
Where the name comes from
Beautiful MÄori goddess, wife of MÄui. The International Astronomical Union approved the name in 2007, under the theme it applies to every fluctus on Titan. Of the 5 features of this class catalogued on Titan, the naming categories run India (1), Indonesia (1), Persian (1), New Zealand (1).
What it would take to settle Rohe Fluctus
Titan scores 32.6 as a world. That number is the same for every square metre of it — but sunlight, water, radiation and the ground under your feet are not. This is the same question asked at 47.3° N, 37.8° W.
What this spot has going for it is known ground — 5,574 km from Huygens (2005). What works against it is temperature — about -179 °C mean at this latitude.
Computed from Rohe Fluctus's catalogued latitude, longitude and feature class — 74% of the model's weight had a basis here, and 2 axes were dropped as not applicable to Titan (radiation geometry, earth link). Gravity, pressure, delta-v and distance from the Sun are the same everywhere on Titan and are already counted in the world's own index, not again here.
What this cannot see: elevation. Slope, local shadowing and the polar “peaks of eternal light” — ridge tops near the poles of a barely tilted world that catch sun almost continuously while a crater floor kilometres away never does — need a terrain model this does not have. Where a real mission targets a pole, that is usually why.
