Investigating the formation and growth of Titan's atmospheric aerosols using an experimental approach
Zoé Perrin, Nathalie Carrasco, Thomas Gautier +4
Titan has a climate system with similarities to Earth, including the presence of a thick atmosphere made up of several atmospheric layers. As on Earth, Titan's climate is influence…
Characterization of a DC glow discharge in with electrical measurements and neutral and ion mass spectrometry
Audrey Chatain, Ana Sofia Morillo-Candas, Ludovic Vettier +3
The addition of small amounts of were investigated in a DC glow discharge in , at low pressure (~1 mbar) and low power (0.05 to 0.2 ). We quantified the elect…
Interaction dust-plasma in Titan's ionosphere: feedbacks on the gas phase composition
Audrey Chatain, Nathalie Carrasco, Ludovic Vettier +1
Titan's organic aerosols are formed in the ionosphere, a layer ionized by solar VUV photons and energetic particles from the magnetosphere of Saturn, forming a natural N2-CH4-H2 pl…
A missing link in the nitrogen-rich organic chain on Titan
N. Carrasco, J. Bourgalais, L. Vettier +3
Context. The chemical building blocks of life contain a large proportion of nitrogen, an essential element. Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, with its dense atmosphere of molecula…
N2-H2 capacitively coupled radio-frequency discharges at low pressure. Part I. Experimental results: effect of the H2 amount on electrons, positive ions and ammonia formation
Audrey Chatain, Miguel Jiménez-Redondo, Ludovic Vettier +5
The mixing of N2 with H2 leads to very different plasmas from pure N2 and H2 plasma discharges. Numerous issues are therefore raised involving the processes leading to ammonia (NH3…
Interaction dust-plasma in Titan's ionosphere: an experimental simulation of aerosols erosion
Audrey Chatain, Nathalie Carrasco, Nathalie Ruscassier +3
Organic aerosols accumulated in Titan's orange haze start forming in its ionosphere. This upper part of the atmosphere is highly reactive and complex ion chemistry takes place at a…
