A Cross-Laboratory Comparison Study of Titan Haze Analogs: Surface Energy

Jialin Li, Xinting Yu, Ella Sciamma-O'Brien +5

In Titan's nitrogen-methane atmosphere, photochemistry leads to the production of complex organic particles, forming Titan's thick haze layers. Laboratory-produced aerosol analogs,…
