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…

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…

Low Pressure EUV Photochemical Experiments: Insight on the Ion-Chemistry Occurring in Titan's Atmosphere

Jérémy Bourgalais, Nathalie Carraso, Ludovic Vettier +1

Thanks to the \textit{Cassini} spacecraft onboard instruments, it has been known that Titan's ionospheric chemistry is complex and the molecular growth is initiated through the pho…

Positive Ion Chemistry in an N-CH Plasma Discharge: Key Precursors to the Growth of Titan Tholins

David Dubois, Nathalie Carrasco, Lora Jovanovic +3

Titan is unique in the solar system as it hosts a dense atmosphere mainly made of N and CH. Cassini-Huygens revealed the presence of an intense atmospheric photochemistry i…

Nitrogen-containing Anions and Tholin Growth in Titan's Ionosphere: Implications for Cassini CAPS-ELS Observations

David Dubois, Nathalie Carrasco, Jérémy Bourgalais +4

The Cassini Plasma Spectrometer (CAPS) Electron Spectrometer (ELS) instrument onboard Cassini revealed an unexpected abundance of negative ions above 950 km in Titan's ionosphere.…
