Laboratory Measurement of Volatile Ice Vapor Pressures with a Quartz Crystal Microbalance
W. M. Grundy, S. C. Tegler, J. K. Steckloff +12
Nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane are key materials in the far outer Solar System where their high volatility enables them to sublimate, potentially driving activity at very l…
Phase Diagram for the Methane-Ethane System and its Implications for Titan's Lakes
Anna E. Engle, Jennifer Hanley, Shyanne Dustrud +4
On Titan, methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) are the dominant species found in the lakes and seas. In this study, we have combined laboratory work and modeling to refine the methane-e…
Titan: Earth-like on the Outside, Ocean World on the Inside
Shannon M. MacKenzie, Samuel P. D. Birch, Sarah Horst +30
Thanks to the Cassini-Huygens mission, Titan, the pale orange dot of Pioneer and Voyager encounters has been revealed to be a dynamic, hydrologically-shaped, organic-rich ocean wor…
Stratification Dynamics of Titan's Lakes via Methane Evaporation
Jordan K. Steckloff, Jason M. Soderblom, Kendra K. Farnsworth +8
Saturn's moon Titan is the only extraterrestrial body known to host stable lakes and a hydrological cycle. Titan's lakes predominantly contain liquid methane, ethane, and nitrogen,…
A New Two-Molecule Combination Band as Diagnostic of Carbon Monoxide Diluted in Nitrogen Ice On Triton
S. C. Tegler, T. D. Stufflebeam, W. M. Grundy +11
A combination band due to a mechanism whereby a photon excites two or more vibrational modes ({\it e.g.} a bend and a stretch) of an individual molecule is commonly seen in laborat…
